Personalized Breast Health for Those at Greater Risk

At Columbus Regional Health, our High-Risk Breast Health Clinic is dedicated to the early detection, prevention, and personalized care of individuals who may be at increased risk for developing breast cancer. Whether due to personal history, family history, genetic factors, or specific breast conditions, our multidisciplinary team provides comprehensive evaluation and individualized risk management strategies.

We understand that navigating breast health concerns can be stressful. Our goal is to provide clarity, support, and access to the latest in breast health monitoring and prevention. Through advanced imaging, genetic counseling, and personalized care plans, we partner with you to take proactive steps toward your long-term health.

We also provide specialized care and guidance for a range of benign but potentially concerning breast conditions. Learn more about the common concerns we address:

Breast Cancer Risk Assessment

Understanding your personal risk for breast cancer is the first step in prevention. Our clinic offers thorough risk assessments based on family history, genetics, lifestyle, and other medical factors.

Using validated tools and, when appropriate, genetic testing, we help you understand your risk level and develop a personalized plan that may include increased screening, lifestyle modifications, and preventive options.

Fibroadenoma

Fibroadenomas are common, benign breast lumps most often found in younger women. While they are not cancerous, they can sometimes require imaging or a biopsy to confirm diagnosis.

Our clinic provides expert evaluation and monitoring to ensure fibroadenomas are managed appropriately and to address any patient concerns.

Intraductal Papilloma

Intraductal papillomas are small, noncancerous growths that develop in the milk ducts of the breast. They can sometimes cause nipple discharge or be found on imaging.

While most are benign, some may be associated with a slightly increased cancer risk. Our team evaluates and monitors these growths carefully, offering surgical removal when appropriate.

Breast Pain (Mastalgia)

Breast pain is a common issue and is often not related to cancer. However, it can cause significant anxiety.

Our specialists can help determine the cause—whether hormonal, structural, or related to other benign conditions—and recommend treatment strategies to reduce discomfort and provide peace of mind.

Atypical Hyperplasia

Atypical hyperplasia refers to abnormal cells found in breast tissue that are not cancer but may be associated with a higher risk of developing breast cancer in the future.

Our clinic offers expert evaluation, discussion of risk-reducing strategies, and close monitoring for individuals with this diagnosis.

Dense Breast Tissue

Dense breast tissue is common and not abnormal, but it can make breast cancer more difficult to detect on mammograms. It also slightly increases breast cancer risk.

We use advanced imaging technologies and provide personalized screening plans for patients with dense breast tissue to ensure accurate and early detection.
