Abstrakt: Recent developments in breast imaging technology and chemoprevention clinical trials have provided promising new options for patients at increased risk of breast cancer. Yet there remains much debate and confusion among providers, patients, and insurers regarding accurate breast cancer risk assessment, appropriate breast cancer screening, and options for breast cancer prevention. We review the most recent literature on these topics in order to provide practicing clinicians with current, practical updates on breast cancer prevention and early detection for women at increased risk of breast cancer.
