How do I know if I'm at an increased risk for breast cancer, and what support is available?
Several factors may increase your risk: dense breast tissue, age and lifestyle (i.e. drinking alcohol, lack of exercise, obesity). Family history is also a major factor—especially if you or a close relative carries the BRCA1/BRCA2 gene, if a male relative had breast cancer, or if multiple relatives have been diagnosed. Another key factor is having a history of abnormal cells on breast biopsies, like lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS), atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH) or atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH). Bronson’s High Risk Breast Clinic—available in Kalamazoo and Battle Creek—offers risk assessments, genetic counseling, annual monitoring and risk reducing strategies. Early detection saves lives, and Bronson is here for you every step of the way.
