An important step in catching breast cancer is actually knowing your risk for breast cancer.

Start by asking your primary care doctor, gynecologist, or provider to do an assessment. To get the most out of that conversation, come with some information on your family history and a few questions to get things started, like: • What's my risk of developing breast cancer? • Do l need a formal risk assessment? • When should I start getting mammograms - and how often should I have them? • Do I need other types of screening (ultrasound, MRI) based on my risk? These questions can help you make more informed decisions about your next steps.
