Consultation

During your first visit with Dr. Kolluri, expect to undergo a comprehensive risk assessment using the Cancer Risk Assessment (CRA) Health portal. You will be asked to provide a comprehensive cancer family history, lifestyle and other risk factors for breast cancer to calculate your lifetime risk of breast cancer. Take the time to do this in advance, and call any family members as needed to accurately report your family history or cancer.

Another important aspect of breast cancer risk assessment is genetic evaluation. If you meet the national standard criteria for hereditary genetic testing, Dr. Kolluri will determine which specific genetic panel test is most appropriate for you, from an array of options available.

During the visit, Dr. Kolluri will perform a thorough breast examination which will start with visual inspection of the breasts and chest wall. Your breasts and armpit regions will be palpated for examination of any masses, skin changes or abnormal lymph nodes. Depending on your specific case, Dr. Kolluri may use ultrasound for further diagnostic evaluation of any abnormal findings
