Episode 12 - High Risk Breast Cancer Clinic

Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosis in women in the United States and currently accounts for the second most cancer deaths in women behind lung cancer.  More than 260,000 diagnoses of breast cancer are made each year in this country. Advances in screening techniques and identifying who may be at higher risk for the development of breast cancer has allowed us to provide more targeted screening recommendations for our patients. 

In this episode of the All In Against Cancer podcast, we talk with Ochsner breast oncology nurse practitioners Erica Doubleday and Peggy Jo Alker to learn more the importance of and services provided by Ochsner’s high risk breast cancer clinic.
