BRCA1 & BRCA2 are genes that are linked to hereditary breast, ovarian and other cancers and can be passed down through family members. It is known that the risk of developing certain types of cancer is increased if the patient has inherited harmful BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes. If found further investigations can be performed at Pall Mall Medical. For those women already showing symptoms, or if you have found a lump or bump you are concerned about, we provide a rapid access breast clinic. This specialised appointment includes seeing a specialist and having any tests (mammograms or biopsy) with the results made available quickly. There is no need to wait to find out either way as early detection options help with future treatments.
