Breast cancer screening in women at high risk of hereditary breast cancer: an Australian experience.

Background: While population-based breast screening is a well-documented health strategy worldwide, very few centres offer breast-screening programmes specifically targeted at women at high risk of hereditary breast cancer. We present our experience with multimodality breast screening in a high-risk population.

Methods: The outcomes from a familial breast cancer clinic at the North Brisbane BreastScreen Queensland Service providing a multimodality screening programme for high-risk women were reviewed from the prospectively maintained database between 2011 and 2018.
