Genetic Testing for High-Risk Individuals

Advances in genetic testing now enable the identification of individuals at high risk for breast cancer due to specific genetic mutations, such as BRCA1 and BRCA2. Early detection strategies for high-risk individuals may include more frequent screenings and starting screening at a younger age. By tailoring screening approaches based on genetic risk, there’s potential for earlier detection and improved outcomes in populations predisposed to breast cancer.
