Melbourne Comprehensive Breast Care offers Australia’s first personalised, risk-based breast cancer screening program — using family history, breast density, and validated risk models to guide the right test at the right time.
Personalised Breast Cancer Screening, Tailored to You
What Is Personalised Breast Cancer Screening?
Traditional breast screening follows a one-size-fits-all approach, often based solely on age. While this has benefits at a population level, it does not account for the wide variation in individual breast cancer risk between women.
Personalised breast cancer screening takes a different approach. It begins with a structured breast cancer risk assessment that considers factors such as family history, personal health information, and breast density. This risk assessment is then used to guide how, when, and how often breast screening is performed.
For some women, this may mean starting screening earlier or using complimentary imaging such as breast MRI or ultrasound. For others, it may mean avoiding unnecessary tests while still maintaining safe and appropriate surveillance.
At Melbourne Comprehensive Breast Care, personalised screening is designed to support informed decision-making and deliver the right test at the right time — based on individual risk rather than age alone.
