Breast cancer risk is different for everyone. It is shaped by many factors, including your age, family history, genetics, breast density, reproductive history, lifestyle, and access to healthcare.

​

Some risk factors are part of your personal history. Others are influenced by the healthcare systems and environments around you, such as access to screening, prevention services, and quality care.

​

Risk assessment helps identify your unique risk factors and determine what screening, prevention, or follow-up options may be right for you.

​

Risk assessment should begin by age 25 and continue throughout your lifetime.

​

Understanding your risk is the first step toward making informed decisions.
