Do you know your genetic risk for breast cancer?  It is more than a BRCA test and we are reintroducing Dr. Holly Pederson's episode to explain the research.

Dr. Pederson is the Medical Director for Breast Services at Cleveland Clinic and an Associate Professor at at Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University. 

She explains:

*genetic risk assessments including the new Polygenic Risk Score,

*which breast exams are right for different patients: digital mammogram, 3D mammogram, ultrasound or the abbreviate MRI

* when it is appropriate to use preventative measures prior to a diagnosis of breast cancer.
