Risk factors for breast cancer include age, a family history of breast cancer, genetic mutations such as BRCA1 and BRCA2, and certain lifestyle factors such as alcohol consumption and lack of physical activity.

Screening for breast cancer can include mammography, breast self-exam, and clinical breast exam. Early detection is essential for breast cancer, as it can significantly increase the chances of survival.

Treatment options for breast cancer include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, the choice of treatment will depend on the cancer stage when it is diagnosed and may also depend on the patient's overall health and personal preferences.
