BRCA Testing

Dr. Lee provides comprehensive cancer risk assessment with hereditary cancer testing. Dr. Lee has been offering testing for the BRCA gene for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and Lynch Syndrome (hereditary colorectal and uterine cancer) for several years.  Additionally, he provides counseling to ensure the patient fully understands the meaning of the test results, her and her family's cancer risk, and most importantly, what she can do to reduce her cancer risk.  Dr. Lee has used these test results to dramatically reduce the cancer risk in many of his patients with effective screening, medication, and surgery.  As an additional service, the Lee OB GYN staff can arrange to precertify the test with any health insurance plan to determine out of pocket costs ahead of time.  Patients who will have out of pocket charges have the option to decline testing at that time with no additional cost to them.  If you have a family history of breast, ovarian, colorectal, or uterine cancer and are interested in genetic testing, please contact Dr. Lee's staff today and schedule an appointment for consultation, or contact www.myriadtests.com.
