Hereditary Breast Cancer – Am I At Risk?

On average, a woman has a 1 in 8 chance to develop breast cancer in her lifetime and approximately 10% of these breast cancer cases are thought to be hereditary. An individual’s family history, genetic factors, and ancestry are all important risk factors that can influence someone’s breast cancer risk. That’s why October, which is breast cancer awareness month, is a good time to raise awareness for the hereditary side of breast cancer.
