Understanding Your Risk

Know Your Risk Factors

Understanding the key risk factors can help you make informed decisions about your health and screening schedule

Age 40+

Age is a significant risk factor for both prostate and breast cancer. As individuals reach 40 and beyond, the likelihood of developing these cancers increases.

Prostate Cancer: Men over 50 are at higher risk, with risk increasing significantly after age 60.
Breast Cancer: Women 40 and older should begin regular screenings, as the risk rises with age, particularly after 50.

Family History

A family history of cancer can greatly influence an individual's risk due to shared genetic factors and environmental influences.

Prostate Cancer: Having a father or brother with prostate cancer doubles a man's risk. Genetic factors play a crucial role in familial patterns.
Breast Cancer: Women with close relatives diagnosed with breast cancer have a higher risk. BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations significantly increase risk levels.

Ethnicity Risk

Ethnicity can affect cancer risk due to genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that vary across different populations.

Prostate Cancer: African American men have the highest incidence rates and are more likely to be diagnosed at an advanced stage.
Breast Cancer: While rates are generally lower in African American women, they face higher mortality rates, highlighting treatment disparities.

Health Status

Existing health conditions can influence cancer risk and outcomes, making regular health monitoring essential.

Prostate Cancer: Conditions like obesity and diabetes are associated with increased risk. Maintaining a healthy weight and managing conditions is crucial.
Breast Cancer: Factors like obesity, hormonal treatments, and certain benign breast conditions can increase risk. Regular health check-ups help mitigate these risks.

Take Control of Your Health

Understanding these risk factors is the first step towards proactive health management. Use our risk assessment tool to get personalized recommendations based on your individual profile.
