Approximately 5-10% of breast cancers are hereditary- caused by a gene abnormality that is passed from a parent to their child. 

If one or more of your close family members have been diagnosed with breast cancer, you may be concerned about your inherited risk of developing breast cancer. 

If you’re at higher risk, have you looked into your options?
