Published: October 6, 2020

As we recognize Breast Cancer Awareness month in October, host Jonathan Fialkow, M.D., welcomes Jane Mendez, M.D., chief of breast surgery at Miami Cancer Institute to talk about early detection and a unique new approach to prevention.

Miami Cancer Institute’s Breast Prevention Clinic is aimed at identifying women with an increased predisposition to breast cancer, and providing them with specially tailored prevention. That way, instead of becoming breast cancer survivors, they can remain ‘previvors’ who do not ever develop the disease.
