Mammograms play a crucial role in early breast cancer detection and can save lives. Breast density can affect the accuracy of mammograms, and additional imaging may be necessary.

Knowing your breast cancer risk is important for determining appropriate screening and prevention strategies. Family planning decisions may be influenced by genetic testing results and breast cancer risk.
