BRCA1-related breast cancers are more likely to be triple-negative, a type that is harder to treat. And these gene mutations also increase the risk for other kinds of cancer. Reasons to get tested ● A family history of breast or ovarian cancer. ● Ashkenazi or Eastern European Jewish ancestry. ● A personal history of breast cancer. ● A personal history of ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneal cancer. ● A BRCA gene mutation in your family. Managing cancer risk If you have a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation, you can lower your risk by starting breast cancer screening earlier. Other options include preventive medications and preventive surgeries to remove breast tissue. Talk to your provider about what’s right for you. If you’re concerned about your risk, ask your provider about genetic testing.
