Woman of any descent any age with triple negative breast cancer: roughly 10-20 percent

One study recommends routine screening for the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes for all women of Ashkenazi Jewish descent—even without a family history. Knowing your genetic mutations and what predisposes us to cancers is beneficial so that we can actually be proactive about it.

Dr. Ratner explained that the standard care options for women who carry the gene vary depending on the medical history of each patient. However, it is recommended that you add an MRI and sonogram—alternating at six-month intervals for breast cancer screening.
