Prof Jennifer Harvey - Drake University, Des Moines, USA

Prof Jennifer Harvey speaks to ecancer at BGICC 2019 in Cairo about the importance of tailored screening methods for women who are at a higher risk of developing breast cancer.

She explains the importance of early detection for women who have a family history of cancer and those with denser breasts.

She also discusses how this risk may be minimised through the use of multi-gene panel testing, risk models and alternative imaging techniques.
