​Genetic factors play a significant role in breast cancer risk, with approximately 5% to 10% of cases attributed to inherited gene mutations, such as those in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes.  If you have a family history of breast cancer or other related cancers, genetic counseling and testing can help assess your risk and guide preventive measures.
