Identifying unaffected BRCA1/2 mutation carriers before they develop breast cancer can reduce their risk and increase survival through increased intensity and frequency of screening, prophylactic surgery, and use of chemopreventive agents. Although the tools for genetic testing have been available for the...
Earlier this month, Olivia Munn revealed she had a double mastectomy following a breast cancer diagnosis. She’s recovering and thankful it was discovered with the help of a breast cancer risk assessment score, which acts like a detailed questionnaire. How does the questionnaire work? And when ...
