Breast Health Support

At LiveYoung Medical Centre, your breast health is our priority. We offer compassionate, professional support for women of all ages — from routine screenings to early detection and diagnostic follow-ups. Our goal is to empower you with proactive care and peace of mind.

👩‍⚕️ Clinical Breast Exams

Our experienced healthcare providers perform clinical breast examinations during routine visits or whenever you have a concern. These hands-on assessments are an important part of monitoring changes, especially between mammograms or before you become eligible for regular screening.

📋 Mammogram Referrals (OBSP)

We participate in the Ontario Breast Screening Program (OBSP), which provides free mammograms every 2 years for:

  • Women aged 50–74, with no current breast symptoms
  • No referral is needed — simply book with us and we will guide you
  • Results are delivered directly to our clinic and your file

If you’re under 40 or over 74 and have a personal or family history of breast cancer, we can assess your risk and arrange earlier screening as medically appropriate.

🧬 High-Risk Assessment & Referrals

If you have concerns such as:

  • Family history of breast or ovarian cancer
  • BRCA gene carriers or testing candidates
  • Dense breast tissue
  • Past abnormal mammograms

We offer risk assessments and referral to specialized high-risk breast clinics when needed. These centers provide genetic counseling, enhanced screening, and personalized monitoring.
