Understanding your personal risk for breast cancer is one of the most empowering steps you can take. This educational webinar explores what it means to be “high risk”—from inherited gene changes like BRCA1 and BRCA2 to family history, breast density, and lifestyle factors—so you and your care team can make informed decisions about screening and prevention. Join Dr. Erika King, Breast Surgeon at Northwell Health, for a compassionate, informative conversation designed to help you feel proactive, prepared, and at peace with your path forward.

When breast cancer can be treated with a lumpectomy, women may have options beyond simply removing the cancer. This educational webinar explores oncoplastic surgery — a combined approach to cancer removal and breast reshaping — including how a breast reduction may fit into your treatment, how partial reconstruction can restore volume and shape, and the techniques used to create natural symmetry. Join Dr. Joseph Ricci, Plastic Surgeon at Northwell Health, for a compassionate, informative conversation designed to help you feel confident about your treatment and your results.
