A woman aged 48 years comes to the clinic because she has discovered a lump in her breast. The diagnosis is positive for breast cancer. The woman asks you when her teenage daughters should begin mammography. What is your best advice?
A) Age 28 years
B) Age 35years
C) Age 38 years
D) Age 40 years
Ans: C
Feedback: A general guideline is to begin screening 10 years earlier than the age at which the youngest family member developed breast cancer but not before age 25 years. In families with a history of breast cancer, a downward shift in age of diagnosis of about 10 years is seen. Since their mother developed breast cancer at age 48 years, the client should begin mammography at age 38 years.
