A member asked:
Mammogram results-intramammographic benign lymph nodes. huge family history of breast, ovarian, and cervical cancer. should i be worried and pursue this?

No: This is a common incidental finding on mammograms. Some radiologists don't even mention them in their reports. Unless the lymph node looks abnormal, there is no further work up needed.

BRCA: If you have a strong family history of breast and ovarian cancer you should ask for BRCA genetic testing. This tests your genetic risk for developing these cancers. There are several companies that do this test and individualized treatment plans can be created. Cervical cancer is not related to family history but rather exposure to the sexually transmitted HPV virus.
