A member asked:
Does my grandmas sister having breast cancer affect my odds of getting breast cancer as well?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breast cancer ?'s: A great aunt with breast cancer will slightly raise the risk of your acquiring breast cancer, but not as much as if your grandmother/mother/sister had breast cancer, and not enough to begin digital mammograms prior to age 40.
