Cancer Risk
Breast cancer, like many cancers, can happen to anyone at almost any age. Some people have a higher risk of getting breast cancer, but may not be aware of it.
It’s important to know if your risk is high so you get screened as early and often as needed. You could also benefit from treatments or surgeries that lower your breast cancer risk.
How to Determine Your Breast Cancer Risk Level
- Family history – Have you had any relatives with breast cancer, especially a mother, sister or daughter?
- Personal medical history – Do you have or have you had any health issues or complications that can increase the risk of developing cancer?
- Prior biopsies – Have you had biopsies of your breast tissue to detect cancer, even if the tissue was not cancerous?
