High-Risk Breast Cancer Centers

Early detection of breast cancer saves lives. Premier Health’s High-Risk Breast Cancer Centers offer a comprehensive program for women at increased risk of developing breast cancer. High-Risk Breast Cancer Centers are located at Miami Valley Hospital North and Miami Valley Hospital South.

Are you at increased risk for breast cancer? Take the Breast Cancer Family History Assessment to determine if you may have a higher risk for breast and related cancer. Answer as many questions as you can based on your own and your family’s cancer history to determine if you may benefit from an appointment with one of Premier Health’s High-Risk Breast Cancer Centers.

Multidisciplinary Approach

The High-Risk Breast Cancer Centers provide a multidisciplinary approach to screening and testing for women who may be more likely to develop breast cancer. Patients have access to the centers’ full-time oncology nurse navigators who support you by offering a more complete picture of what is happening and, if treatment is needed, guiding you through the treatment process.

The centers offer cancer-focused genetic counseling and genetic testing for inherited cancer risks. The centers also provide ongoing care and surveillance for women participating in the program.
