What is the prodical for young adults who have a family history of breast cancer? Otherwise, when should they start getting tested etc.?

It depends on exactly what is meant by "family history" ..... if those with BC are first degree relatives then gene testing might be in order but other testing such as Mammogram/Ultrasound should start at least in the 30s. There are variables to be considered so I don't believe you can go by any hard and fast rule. Regards ....
