A member asked:
My mother had lobular breast cancer at 53. does this mean ill get it? is the lobular variety more likely genetic? i'm brca negative.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not, no: The lobular variety has similar genetic risk as other varieties. Your mother having breast cancer does mean you have greater than average risk but it is still much more likely that you won't get it than you will. Many genes besides BRCA affect risk, but diet and lifestyle still has a greater influence on risk than genetics. See http://tinyurl.com/zwgadg2 and http://tinyurl.com/zg66ou7
