The Lynne Cohen High Risk Screening and Prevention Project for
Ovarian and Breast Cancer at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.
In this program, we offer each woman screening in the high-risk
ovarian screening clinic and the high-risk breast screening clinic.
These are clinics for women who are high risk for breast and ovarian
cancer. The criteria is 2 or more first or second degree relatives
with breast &/or ovarian cancer; or, 1 relative if patient
is of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. In the ovarian screening clinic,
we offer a visit with a gynecological oncologist, genetic counseling,
a transvaginal ultrasound, and a CA 125 blood test. In the breast
screening clinic, we offer breast cancer risk assessment including
genetic risk assessment by a genetic counselor, visit with a breast
medical oncologist, breast examination and screening (mammogram,
ultrasound and breast MRI if indicated).
