We conducted a prospective, observational study to determine breast cancer screening practices among self-referred high-risk women who pursued genetic testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations. Of the 107 unaffected women included in this study, 41 were BRCA1/2 carriers and 66 women tested negative for a mutation previously identified in their family. All of the women underwent comprehensive pre- and posttest genetic...
