TL;DR
A large number of women with a family history of breast cancer face the task of providing appropriate screening schedules for their patients, and one group for whom this is particularly important are those Women with aFamily history of Breast cancer.
Abstract
These tables can be used for the purpose of counseling women at high risk of breast cancer development, that is, women with a family history of breast cancer.

A group of women was identified whose risk for breast cancer was 47‐to 51‐fold higher than that experienced by control women, and the disease in these families developed premenopausally, often bilaterally, and was seemingly associated with ovarian function.
