Family breast cancer may not be risky
Note:
New research suggests that just because a woman has family members with breast cancer, it does not mean that she should undergo early screening.According to the report, there are certain factors doctors can look for to determine whether early screening is advisable. "Breast cancer is very common. Familial clustering is also rather common," Geertruida H de Bock, the study's first author, said. "About 25-30% of breast cancer is family clustered, but the (rate) of breast cancer in the family is not very useful in predicting if you will get breast cancer."
