More than 40,000 women in the U.S. die each year from breast cancer. Don’t take any chances. Talk to your health care provider about breast cancer, your risk factors and your family medical history.
Recommendations for women at average breast cancer risk:
Your health care provider may do additional tests if you have family members with a history of breast, ovarian, tubal or peritoneal cancer. These additional tests can show if this family history will put you at higher risk for breast cancer.
