CME ENd date: February 28, 2025

Objectives:

Early onset breast cancer, defined as breast cancer occurring in women under the age of 45, accounts for approximately 10% of new breast cancer cases in the United States. Younger women tend to experience more aggressive disease, higher risk of recurrence and death, and more long-term survivorship issues than older women.

This course covers factors that contribute to increased risk for early onset breast cancer, including genetic and racial/ethnic risk factors, breast density, family history, and prior health history.

The learning objectives are to:

• Identify various risk factors for early onset breast cancer and how strong of a predictor each risk factor is
• Identify current society guidelines and recommendations for early onset breast cancer screening and distinguish the points of differentiation
• Identify existing data, including gaps, about breast density and cancer risk

Physicians can purchase the eModule, access it at the link below, and receive CME credit once they achieve 80% or higher on the posttest.
