Prevention4ME

Prevention is Empowering
In the U.S., 1 in 3 women will develop cancer in their lifetime, and at least 1 in 10 cancers are hereditary. Among women 40 years and older, about half have dense breasts, which increases their breast cancer risk.   

Providence Genomics is helping women proactively manage cancer risks through a simple online assessment and genetic testing for eligible patients. Knowledge is power, especially for the 90% of women who are unaware of their inherited risk of cancer.

Prevention4ME Assesses Risk 

The Prevention4ME personal and family health history assessment identifies a patient’s potential risk of cancer (breast and others). Based on the responses, Prevention4ME stratifies two categories of cancer risk for a patient by assessing:

1. Your risk of developing breast cancer
over your lifetime 

A patient’s lifetime empirical risk of breast cancer is estimated based on the Tyrer-Cuzick (TC) model. Prevention4ME calculates the patient’s TC score.

2. Your eligibility for genetic testing
for inherited cancers 

A patient’s eligibility for genetic testing for inherited cancer risk is based on the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Genetic/Familial High-risk Guidelines. If NCCN genetic testing guidelines are met, Prevention4ME recommends further genetic testing.
