About The Study: Family history was perceived as the greatest risk factor for breast cancer in this study of women ages 40 to 76. In interviews, few women perceived breast density as a risk factor, and one-third thought that they could not take any actions to reduce their breast cancer risk. Comprehensive education about breast cancer risks and prevention strategies is needed.
