If you have had a prior atypical breast biopsy, please attach a copy of the biopsy pathology report, or ask your doctor to do so. You may also be asked to provide recent breast imaging reports from screening mammograms, ultrasounds, or MRIs.
If you have already been seen by our Department of Medical Genetics: Direct referrals from our Cancer Genetic Service may occur in the event that a patient has a positive test result. You will be contacted to complete an intake questionnaire and schedule an appointment.聽聽
