[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]:shock: is this serious? you'll take your boobs out even though you're completely healthy? how accurate are those tests? i have several cases of BC in my family but i would never EVER do it.[/quote] It is often suggested for women with certain genetic mutations that predict an 80% chance of developing BC as [i]young[/i] (my mom was 30) women. I think there's pretty high confidence in the genetic testing, the assumption is that such patients will almost certainly get it early, and of course, once you have an actual malignancy the treatment sucks more than the disease (initially) sucks. I believe that pre-menopausal women also have faster-spreading tumors, too.[/quote]
