Identification and management of patients at increased risk for breast cancer.

Abstract

Breast cancer is the most diagnosed invasive cancer in the United States, with 1 in 8 people assigned female at birth (AFAB) being affected.¹ It is imperative that health care practitioners remain current and well-versed in identifying individuals at high risk for developing breast cancer. This article outlines an approach for obstetrics/gynecology practitioners to identify high-risk patients and to counsel on appropriate breast cancer screening, prevention, and risk-reduction options.
