Enrollment
Women At Risk maintains a computerized registry with comprehensive data on all patients enrolled in the High-Risk Program at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. The Registry allows medical professionals to analyze data about the high-risk population and facilitates both tracking and follow-up.
Enrollment in the program will involve:
- An initial comprehensive history and physical examination, including breast imaging when appropriate, and discussion of relevant risk reduction strategies.
- Completion of a detailed questionnaire regarding health and family history. This information is recorded in WAR's computerized registry for long term follow-up.
- Long-term surveillance by medical professionals.
- Follow-up visits based on WAR's protocol for high-risk patients.
- Access to formal risk assessment, ductal lavage, genetic counseling and testing when appropriate.
- Opportunity to participate in research projects related to various aspects of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of breast cancer.
- Access to the multidisciplinary Breast Center for all necessary treatment.
- Access to educational resources, including WAR's annual symposium and biannual newsletters
- Access to WAR's Resource Library (staffed by breast cancer survivors) which includes information about breast cancer and other women's health issues.
