Breast Cancer Risk Assessment

Breast cancer risk assessment evaluates various factors to determine a person's likelihood of developing breast cancer. These factors include age, family history of breast cancer, genetic mutations (like BRCA1 and BRCA2), personal health history, and lifestyle choices such as diet and exercise. Healthcare providers use risk assessment tools and guidelines to gauge risk levels. This helps in making informed decisions about screening, preventive measures, and possible treatments. Early assessment can lead to timely interventions and better outcomes for those at higher risk.
