Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women. Although we don’t yet know enough to be able to predict who will be affected by cancer, we do know that it can sometimes run in families. We have also identified some genes that can put you at risk of breast cancer. However, that doesn’t mean that all cases of breast cancer are hereditary. In fact, only about 5-10% of breast cancers are likely to be caused by hereditary factors.
