Description

Claus et al calculated the cumulative risk for a woman developing breast cancer by a certain age if she has a family history of breast cancer. The following tables apply if the patient has 1 or 2 second degree relatives with breast cancer. The study is based on the data from the Cancer and Steroid Hormone Study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control.
