Zusammenfassung: | The approach to screening patients at high risk for breast cancer has thus far been challenging to standardize, given limited high‐level evidence in this population. The approach has evolved given the development of more effective screening modalities, including digital breast mammography, magnetic resonance imaging, and other emerging technologies. This review will discuss identification of high‐risk patients, approaches to genetic counseling and testing, and evidence behind screening modalities and algorithms in this special population. |
