10 Ways to Decrease the Risk of Getting Breast Cancer

2. Family History Of Breast Cancer

Women with a family history of cancer should be more concerned about receiving any diagnosis of cancer. Breast or ovarian cancer in the family can be a strong indicator that you may be at risk for developing breast cancer as well.

If you don't know your family history, it's important to find out from other relatives or family friends who can fill in any gaps with information about whether anyone had breast, ovarian or prostate cancer.
