Family History and genetics of breast cancer
Family history and genetics of breast cancer
Some people may have an increased risk of developing breast cancer due to changes in their genetic makeup (DNA), or previous history.
These include a change in genes called BRCA1, BRCA2, and PALB2.

This means that additional monitoring or screening may be necessary.
Factors which can predispose people to develop breast cancer include:
- Other blood relatives being diagnosed with breast cancer
- Certain non-cancer breast conditions
We offer consultations to help you understand this risk, along with genetic testing and tailored advice.
