C
The finding from the patient's history that is most linked to an increased risk for breast cancer is having a grandmother diagnosed with breast cancer. A family history of breast cancer is a nonmodifiable risk factor. Other risk factors that enhance a woman's potential for developing breast cancer are age (over 50), personal history of breast cancer, menarche at an early age, nulliparity, first child born after age 30, late onset of menopause, increased alcohol consumption, high fat diet, cigarette smoking, and physical inactivity. A brother diagnosed with breast cancer (not gynecomastia) at any age poses a high risk of breast cancer.
