It is important to note that while Breast Cancer is the most common cancer in women, the discussion of BRCA and familial breast cancer accounts for ~10% of cases. This is a complex disease that we are learning about every day and with the remainder of Breast Cancers accounting for 90%, it is a topic we will be revisiting in the future.
