Abstract

Abstract: In the United States, the lifetime risk of cancer is approximately 50% for men and 33% for women. Approximately 10% of these individuals have an inherited predisposition and substantially increased cancer risk. This article discusses an approach to identifying and managing patients based on a high-risk breast clinic model.
