A BreasKnowing Your Risk Saves Lives. Genetic Testing Helps You Stay One Step Aheadt Lump Isn’t Always Cancer
Some women are born with a higher risk of developing breast cancer — but with the right assessment, early screening, and expert guidance, that risk can be managed confidently.
At Prajnam, we help you understand your personal breast cancer risk and create a proactive plan tailored to your genetics, family history, and lifestyle.
What Is Genetic & Cancer Risk Assessment?
It is a detailed evaluation that helps determine your likelihood of developing breast cancer based on:
Family history
Personal health history
Breast density patterns
Age & hormonal factors
Genetic mutations
Lifestyle-related risk
This assessment helps us detect problems early – long before symptoms appear – giving you clarity, confidence, and control over your breast health.
Who Should Consider a Risk Assessment?
You should get a genetic or cancer risk evaluation if you have:
Family History of Breast Cancer
Especially in mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, or multiple relatives.
Known Genetic Mutations (BRCA1 / BRCA2)
Or history of ovarian, pancreatic, or prostate cancer in close relatives.
Breast Cancer at a Young Age in the Family
Diagnosis below age 50 increases risk.
Triple-Negative Breast Cancer in Family
More likely to have a hereditary cause.
Triple-Negative Breast Cancer in Family
Such as atypical hyperplasia or dense breast tissue.
Ashkenazi Jewish Heritage
Higher prevalence of specific genetic mutations.
If you’re unsure whether you fall into a high-risk category - a simple consultation can help.
What We Assess at Prajnam
Genetic Factors
BRCA1, BRCA2, and other gene mutations that elevate lifetime risk.
Family History Mapping
Your mother’s, sister’s, and extended family’s cancer history.
Hormonal & Reproductive Factors
Age at first period, first pregnancy, breastfeeding duration, menopause, etc.
Lifestyle-Linked Risks
Weight, diet, alcohol intake, and physical activity.
Breast Density & Imaging Pattern
Dense breasts can mask early signs; hence, advanced screening is essential.
Previous Breast Conditions
Cysts, papillomas, fibroadenoma, atypical cells, or prior biopsies.
This creates a personalised risk score and a clear plan for early detection.
