    Glossary Breast Cancer Risk

    likelihood of developing breast cancer influenced by genetics and lifestyle

    Breast Cancer Risk refers to the likelihood or probability of an individual developing breast cancer over their lifetime. This risk can be influenced by a combination of genetic factors, such as mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes, lifestyle choices, family history, and environmental exposures. Understanding one's breast cancer risk can help in making informed decisions about screening and preventive measures.
