Advances in Breast Cancer Screening

The video discusses the BRCA genes linked to breast cancer, highlighting that while these genes are uncommon, having a close relative with early-onset breast cancer increases risk. Women with these genes can undergo genetic testing to assess their risk, which can be as high as 87% for some, like Angelina Jolie. Options for managing this risk include regular screenings, preventive drugs, or surgery. Surgery, which reduces cancer risk to 5%, can be complemented with breast reconstruction for natural results.
