Das bedeutet nicht, dass Sie das Mammogramm nicht machen. Sie fangen mit dem Mammogramm an. Das ist der Goldstandard. Jetzt, wie weißt du, ob du einen höheren Risiko für Breastcancer hast?

You may need to talk to a genetic counselor, because there are different genetic hereditary syndromes that aren't necessarily just associated with breast cancer. For example, prostate cancer can be linked to breast cancer. What if your father only had brothers, they all had prostate cancer, and you're missing an increased risk for breast cancer, because that hasn't been delineated?
