Breast cancer will likely affect one in eight women at some point during their lifetime, and the risks increase with age. However, the risk is not the same for all women in any given age group. Genetic changes, including BRCA1 and BRCA2, are known to carry a higher risk, but now scientists say that even family members who test negative for the genetic differences are still at an increased risk of developing the disease.
