Screening and prevention strategies for breast cancer (BC) have focused on women over 40 years of age. While BC prevalence under 40 is low, affected patients have more aggressive cancers and a poorer prognosis. Those with identifiable risk factors may benefit from screening for early detection and prevention strategies. This paper reviews the current literature and guidelines regarding BC risk. Screening guidelines and prevention strategies are also reviewed, with a focus on females under the age of 40.
