Breast cancer risk for those with personal breast cancer history was very high (mean risk score (MRS): 549.58 ± 48.26) and breast cancer risk level of the women whose mothers and sisters had breast cancer history was high (MRS: 328.46 ± 107.02). It was noted in the study that as women’s breast cancer risk level went up so did their mean HBMS scores for susceptibility and health motivation (p |
