Abstract:
Primary care physicians are typically the frontline clinicians who assess female patients for their risk of breast cancer, doing so by using a combination of risk algorithms and collecting personal and family medical histories. Patients found to be at increased risk of breast cancer, defined as > 20% overall lifetime risk, are candidates for enhanced screening. This review notes risk factors, determinants of risk, and a systematic approach for primary care physicians to assess and manage patients at risk of breast cancer.
