Be proactive when it comes to beating breast cancer

While some health issues are impossible to predict, your chance of developing breast cancer can be predicted. Both your family and personal health histories can contribute to your breast cancer risk. If you have personal or family risk factors that raise your risk, Novant Health Cancer Institute – Ardmore (Risk Counseling) is here for you.

Our providers start by taking a close look at your health and the health history of your close relatives to get an accurate assessment of your future breast cancer risk. If you have completed BRCA genetic testing, those results will also be reviewed along with any other previous genetic testing. Based on all of that information, your care team will recommend future steps. In some cases, those steps could simply be increased monitoring or making lifestyle changes; in other cases, patients might choose a preventive mastectomy to lessen or eliminate risk. Whatever your options, we are here to explain them and choose the best course of treatment for you.

Our clinic is on Lyndhurst Avenue between Bodford Street and Bolton Street. You can reach us by taking Silas Creek Parkway to Bolton Street and heading north. We are close to Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center, and easily reached from all of Winston-Salem, Lewisville, Clemmons and Bermuda Run.
