HALO Breast Pap Test is helping physicians shift their focus from diagnosing and treating breast cancer to risk assessment and prevention. HALO can help you fight breast cancer before you even have it.

HALO is a simple five-minute test that can help determine your risk of breast cancer years earlier than a mammogram. Simply put, it’s the quickest, easiest way to give your doctor a heads-up, and you a head start.

The HALO Breast Pap Test identifies abnormalities at the cellular level, years earlier than a mammogram can find a lump. That’s why doctors recommend that women, ages 25 and up, be tested annually with the HALO system. HALO does not replace regular mammograms and breast exams.

HALO is a new tool to help identify women at high risk for developing breast cancer in the future.  High risk women and their doctors can proactively take steps to reduce their risk and develop an individualized monitoring plan.

A cervical Pap test has become a routine part of your annual check-up because it identifies abnormal cell activity that could eventually become cancerous. Since the cervical Pap test was developed fifty years ago, statistics show that deaths from cervical cancer have decreased more than 80%, thanks largely to the Pap test. By comparison, only modest progress has been made in reducing the occurrence of breast cancer, and breast cancer statistics have stayed at an alarmingly high level.
