El Camino Hospital in Mountain View, Calif., announced the launch of its comprehensive high-risk breast program to identify women at high risk for developing breast cancer and help them manage their risk or resulting diagnosis.
The program is a collaboration between El Camino Women's Hospital in Los Gatos, Calif., and El Camino's Genomic Medicine Institute, cancer center and imaging services in Mountain View.
The program includes a risk assessment tool offered to all mammogram patients at the Breast Health Center in Mountain View. A nurse will contact high-risk women to discuss additional screening options, such as genetic counseling and testing. High-risk women will also have access to advanced diagnostic equipment, including a breast MRI and 3-D breast ultrasound.
