Our center is the first to offer the Prevention4ME risk assessment, an innovative and personalized early detection and genetic evaluation program.

Inherited genetic changes can increase a woman’s risk for developing breast and other types of cancer. Up to 10% of all cancers, in fact, are linked to inherited genetic mutations, but 90% of women are unaware of their risk — even though they may benefit from additional screening.

For example, nearly half of women ages 40 and over have dense breasts, which is often inherited. Having dense breasts makes mammograms harder to read and cancer harder to detect.

At the Providence Comprehensive Breast Center in Everett, we know knowledge is power and early detection saves lives. This is why we help you proactively manage your cancer risk with a simple online assessment tool that lets you know how likely you are to develop breast cancer during your lifetime. The tool also assesses your breast density and eligibility for genetic testing to determine your risk for inherited cancers.

The online Prevention4ME assessment is easy to fill out and includes questions about personal and family health history that help calculate your potential cancer risk.

If you live in Snohomish County and schedule your mammogram at the Comprehensive Breast Center, you’ll automatically receive an invitation to take the test.

Prevention4ME can measure your:

• Risk of developing breast cancer over the course of your lifetime, based on the Tyrer-Cuzick (TC) model.
• Eligibility for genetic testing for inherited cancers, based on genetic/familial high-risk criteria established by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN).

Once we receive your results, we’ll discuss them and potential next steps with you, including your options for ongoing care that’s tailored to you.

If you qualify for genetic testing, you’ll not only be offered onsite testing, you’ll also have the option of being admitted into our high-risk breast cancer program, which offers additional screenings including breast MRI and contrast-enhanced mammography to support prevention.
