Abstract
• Not all women with a family history of breast cancer are at high risk of the disease. Women with similar-appearing family histories of breast cancer can have very different risks. By assessing not only family history of breast cancer, but also whether such cases are premenopausal or postmenopausal and unilateral or bilateral, surgeons may more accurately assess a woman's breast cancer risk and be better able to determine appropriate treatment.
