Our services

Novant Health Cancer Institute – Ardmore (Risk Counseling) is here to help you stay as healthy as possible; we know that action now reduces your chance of developing breast cancer in the future. The first part of our process is understanding your risk.  This involves:

• Analyzing any previous genetic testing that indicates mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes, or other genetic testing
• Conducting in-depth assessments of personal health risk factors
• Determining whether lifestyle changes could reduce your risk

Once your care team has a clear picture of your risk, you and your providers will discuss your future care options. These could include:

• Increased breast cancer monitoring
• Lifestyle changes
• Preventive mastectomy (removal of breast tissue) with or without breast reconstruction
