Risk Reduction

Pillar Specific Objectives:

• Identify the population of patients at above average risk for the development of breast cancer.
• Decrease this identified population’s rate of breast cancer development.
• Analyze potential cost differential in the prevention of breast cancer development.

The risk reduction pillar is a vital portion of this mutual project which has resulted in the capability of the project to establish a screening program to identify women who are at high risk for developing breast cancer, and to enter them into a very time and resource-intensive risk reduction program which can only be appropriately resourced through an appropriation such as this, to decrease significantly these patients’ chance of getting breast cancer in the future.
