Paris Regional Health Now Offers Genetic Testing to Qualifying Individuals During a Routine Screening Mammogram
October 23, 2024To empower patients who may have a family history of cancer, Paris Regional Health is now offering generic cancer testing to qualifying individuals during their routine mammogram screening. This test looks for mutations (changes) in genes that have been passed down through generations, and which may increase an individual's risk of developing cancer. “Each year, over 250,000 women in the United States learn that they have breast cancer. While most of these cancers happen by chance, some are hereditary,” said Natasha Dixon, Director of Radiology at Paris Regional Health. “If someone knows they have a genetic mutation, they can take steps to reduce their risk or detect cancer early.”
