Outline Breast cancer risk factors Hereditary breast cancer genes (BRCA1/2) Benign breast disease Risk-reducing strategies Breast cancer risk assessment in primary care 2
Case #1 A 32-year-old premenopausal woman of Ashkenazi Jewish descent has a strong family history of breast and ovarian cancer. Her mother has a positive BRCA2 mutation (6174delT). She had menarche at age 14 and her first child at age 25. She denies OCP use or any breast complaints.

Breast Cancer Risk Factors 5
BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations Account for 2-7% of breast cancers, 10-15% of ovarian cancers Prevalence is 1:400 in the general population, 1:40 in Ashkenazi Jews Lifetime risk of breast cancer 40-60%, ovarian cancer 20-40% Pai Cancer 2005 Nelson Ann Intern Med 2005 Risch JNCI 2006 Chen JCO 2007 6

Case #2 A 63-year-old Hispanic postmenopausal woman has a screening mammogram with heterogeneously dense breasts and new calcifications in the right breast. Core breast biopsy and subsequent excisional biopsy revealed atypical ductal hyperplasia. Her age of menarche was 12 and she has 2 children with her first delivery at 35. She has no family history of breast cancer. According to the Gail model, her 5-year risk of invasive breast cancer is 3.2% and lifetime risk is 14.1%. 13
