Identify High-Risk Patients

Our CARE Program helps healthcare providers find patients at increased cancer risk or who qualify for genetic testing, so no one gets missed. Customized cancer screening and risk reduction plans can then be made, with the goal of earlier detection and decreased cancer risks. Educational resources and support for patients and healthcare providers are available to support the entire process.

CARE’s award-winning approach utilizes a secure HIPAA-compliant platform to collect and analyze patients’ medical information and family history prior to in-person visits. This can be used to identify individuals at increased risk for cancer and/or who qualify for hereditary cancer testing in their patient population.

Breast Cancer Risk Assessment

The CARE Program’s evidence-based digital tools analyze medical and family history information to assess and provide a patient’s lifetime risk of developing breast cancer. If that risk is 20%[1] or higher, increased breast cancer screening, including annual breast MRI, may be appropriate. The aim is to detect breast cancer earlier, when it is more treatable. In some cases, risk-reducing options may be appropriate based on the lifetime cancer risk.

Hereditary Cancer Testing

Using a patient’s medical history, family history, and previous genetic results, CARE analyzes this against published national guidelines to determine if a patient meets criteria for hereditary cancer testing. Accessing genetic testing for high-risk patients enables them to explore increased cancer screening, risk-reducing options medications, or surgical procedures as appropriate for their results. This information can also help at-risk relatives, who may qualify for genetic testing.
