In less than a year, Prevention4ME has identified more than 2600 patients at high risk for cancer who are now being screened differently or receiving NCCN guideline-recommended genetic testing Prevention4ME has been piloted at multiple sites across the system and is continually expanding system-wide. The program includes a novel virtual screening tool, patient and provider support, education, and integrated test ordering/resulting workflow.
“The sooner we can catch it, the easier it is for treatment. It can be as simple as an excision as opposed to chemo. When people go through this program and are determined to be at a high risk, whether they are eligible for genetic testing or not, or just at an elevated risk for breast cancer, we can get them in different screenings like abreast MRI that can help to catch cancer sooner." - B Kellie Kraft, Breast Imaging NurseNavigator – Kadlec Advanced Breast Care
