Should my daughter begin mamograms at an earlier age given her maternal history?
Asked August 21, 2009
I was negative for BRCA I and II after being diagnosed with breast cancer, but I have a very strong maternal history of breast cancer. Should my daughter begin mamograms at an earlier age given her maternal history?
Expert answer
If there are multiple maternal relatives with breast cancer the risk to a female offspring increases considerably. Earlier screening is very reasonable.
