  • Am I High Risk? What Women Need to Know About Breast Cancer Prevention
    Feb 9 2026

    In the United States, women have a 1 in 8 chance of developing breast cancer in their lifetime. But some women, due to genetic and biological factors, are at a higher risk. Most women are familiar with getting preventative, annual mammograms starting at 40, as risk increases with age. But what about women who are higher risk? How can they understand their chances of developing the disease? And what should they do to decrease their cancer risk?


    On this episode of Delivering a Cancer-free Frontier, we’re discussing Huntsman Cancer Institute’s Breast Cancer Risk Clinic. Oncologist Dr. Vera Kazakova, MD and genetic counselor Whitney Maxwell, CGC, MS go through the options available for women at high risk—and how they tailor choices to each individual woman’s needs.
