About Us

The Risk Reduction Surgery Evaluate (RiSE) Clinic at Huntsman Cancer Institute is for women who are at increased risk for breast and/or ovarian cancer due to a genetic mutation. Women who visit the clinic should be interested in learning more about surgery options that can help reduce cancer risk.

Women with a mutation in BRCA, TP53, PALB2, or other genes are known to have a higher risk for breast cancer compared to the general population. Some of these gene mutations also increase the risk for ovarian cancer. There are many options to find cancer early or to lower the risk for cancer. Surgery is one of these options.

The RiSE Clinic helps women at increased risk for cancer know what surgery options are available. Women can meet breast and gynecological surgeons in one visit.
