Genetic Testing for Breast Cancer
Every woman carries some risk of developing breast cancer during her lifetime, but some are at more risk than others.  Inherited mutations in certain genes are known to raise the breast cancer risk.  You can learn more through a simple oral rinse saliva test, available during consultation with our breast surgeons.
