You may have a higher risk of hereditary breast cancer if breast cancer runs in your family, and/or a BRCA gene mutation runs in your family.
You May Have a Higher Risk
Breast Cancer in Young Women Can Be Hereditary. Breast cancer is less common in younger women than in older women, but young women are more likely to have hereditary breast cancer. Hereditary cancers run in your family and are caused by an inherited change in your genes. BRCA stands for the breast cancer gene. You have two BRCA genes—one from your mother and one from your father—which help the body prevent breast cancer. Everyone Has BRCA Genes. Some people have mutations—or changes in their BRCA genes—which increase their risk for breast, ovarian, and other cancers. One in every 500 women in the U.S. has either a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation. If one of your parents carries a BRCA gene mutation, you have a 50% chance of also having the mutation.
Breast Cancer in Young Women Can Be Hereditary
3 Steps Young Women Can Take to Understand Their Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Risk. 1. Learn your family history of breast or ovarian cancer. It may indicate you are at a higher risk. 2. Talk to a doctor if you are at a higher risk. Your doctor can help you make a plan for managing your risk. 3. Know how your breasts normally look and feel. Talk to your doctor right away if you notice changes in the size or shape of your breast, pain, or nipple discharge.
