Risk Assessment<\/h2> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

A recent American Cancer Society report found breast cancer diagnoses have been rising by about 1% per year, with a steeper increase among women under 50 (1.4% annually) compared to women 50 and older. The increase was even sharper among Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander women, and Hispanic women. [30]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

American College of Radiology guidelines now call for all women, particularly Black and Ashkenazi Jewish women, to have a risk assessment by age 25 to determine whether they need screening earlier than age 40. Average-risk women should still start annual screening at 40, but high-risk patients need earlier and more intensive screening.[31]<\/sup><\/a><\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
