#### Elevate Your Imaging Practice with Comprehensive Risk Assessment 

The Ambry CARE Program® (CARE) empowers imaging centers to identify high-risk patients who need additional screening and preventive care. Our digital platform automates breast cancer risk assessment and hereditary cancer testing qualification, helping you provide personalized, proactive care for every patient.

## Are You Missing High-Risk Patients?

**The Challenge:**

93% of women who qualify for high-risk breast MRI based on medical/family history never have one.1,2 

~5% of individuals have a mutation in a cancer predisposition gene, but most don't know it.3 

Paper-based risk assessment is inconsistent and often incomplete.4 

Complex, evolving testing guidelines can be difficult to interpret and apply manually.  

## Deliver Personalized Care While Streamlining Your Workflows

With CARE (“Comprehensive Assessment of Risk & Education”), your imaging center can:

**Identify more high-risk patients** through universal Tyrer-Cuzick scoring and automated hereditary cancer genetic testing qualification using the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®️).5,6

**Streamline workflows** with digital patient history collection, assessment, and genetic test ordering that integrates with your EHR.

**Facilitate personalized care plans** based on breast cancer risk scores and genetic test results.

**Improve early detection** with support to identify patients   
who qualify for advanced screening like breast MRI.

**Connect patients** with education resources   
and telehealth genetic counseling.

"The transition to the Ambry CARE Program® improved our clinic workflows. More importantly, our program is changing patient lives because we can individualize their care based on their history and DNA."

“The Ambry CARE Program appealed to me because LMI can easily determine the TC breast cancer risk score for each patient and know if she qualifies for genetic testing. Other solutions we've considered are very cumbersome or expensive, but not CARE.”

# How CARE Works

![CARE_ImagingCenter_HxCollection_400x400](https://info.ambrygenetics.com/hubfs/CARE_ImagingCenter_HxCollection_400x400.png "CARE_ImagingCenter_HxCollection_400x400")

**Digital History Collection**

Patients complete medical and family history questionnaires via text or email before appointments.

Automated Risk Assessment

CARE calculates Tyrer-Cuzick scores for all patients and evaluates hereditary cancer risk against NCCN Guidelines ®️.5,6 The assessment has been validated with 99.5% accuracy for hereditary cancer risk assessment using NCCN Guidelines.5,6,7 TC score can account for breast density.

Patient Education 

 Digital resources help patients understand their risk factors, genetic testing, and how results could affect their care and their families.

Streamlined Genetic Testing

If medically necessary, providers can order genetic testing through the CARE platform.

**Results Delivery**

 Test results are delivered securely to providers and patients through the CARE platform.

#### Backed by Clinical Research

CARE’s clinical impact has been validated through rigorous research. A study presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) examined outcomes when CARE was introduced to several breast and imaging centers:8

- Assessment of **250,000 female patients** over a 2-year period
- Approximately **1 in 10 female patients** received an updated cancer risk management plan
- **13% of patients** had elevated Tyrer-Cuzick scores (≥20%) and qualified for breast MRI
- **42% of positive genetic test results** had direct impact on breast care recommendations 

This research confirms that breast and imaging centers can use CARE as a scalable solution to identify patients who benefit from personalized risk assessment and management.

#### Real Results from an Imaging Center Using CARE

**Midstate Radiology Associates Achieved:** 

- **400% increase** in patients identified for screening breast MRI
- **60% increase** in qualified patients electing to have genetic testing
- **76% completion rate** for digital risk assessments
- Nearly **half** of patients with positive genetic results had a shift in breast cancer risk management

"My sister died of breast cancer that was diagnosed at stage IV. My breast cancer was caught early, and I am so grateful for that. Without this program, my story could have been completely different."

Angie Butler - *MRA CARE Patient identified as high-risk based on breast cancer risk score*

# Transform Your Practice with CARE

Implementing CARE at your imaging center means:

For Patients

Support them with personalized care plans that promote earlier detection and may reduce their cancer risk.

**For Providers**

Streamline your workflows, automate documentation, and leverage tools that will support you in providing guideline-concordant care. 

**For Your Practice**

Consistently connect qualified patients with high-risk services, improve patient satisfaction, and differentiate from competitors.
