The first visit:聽
On the first visit, the doctor will review your medical and family history information, and provide a personalized risk assessment that includes your short-term and lifetime risk of developing breast cancer. You are welcome and encouraged to ask questions. A clinical breast exam will be performed, and you may also be recommended to schedule additional imaging, including mammogram, breast ultrasound, or breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the weeks/months after the visit.
Referrals for genetic counselling, smoking cessation, weight loss surgery, the hereditary gynaecologic surveillance clinic, and other screening specialists will be provided for appropriate candidates.聽 聽
After the first visit:聽
