Cancer, breast,
familial: A number of factors have been identified that increase the
risk of breast cancer. One of the strongest of these risk factors is the
history of breast cancer in a relative. About 15-20% of women with
breast cancer have such a family history of the disease, clearly
reflecting the participation of inherited (genetic) components in the
development of some breast cancers. Dominant breast cancer suceptibility
genes, including BRCA1 and BRCA2, appear responsible for about 5% of
all breast cancer.
