摘要:: The epidemiology of breast cancer involves several factors that may be useful in deciding to recommend breast cancer screening. Paramount among these factors is age. A family history of breast cancer may be a basis for modifying screening recommendations, but this may be appropriate only for a subset of women with breast cancer in a relative. Although there are several known risk factors for breast cancer, no single factor accounts for a large proportion of disease, and many patients with breast cancer have none of the recognized risk factors. A decision to forgo screening based on the absence of any single factor other than age may not be justified by current epidemiologic knowledge.
