Abstract
Breast cancer is the main cause of cancer death in women under the age of 40. However, the organized mammographic screening of a young healthy woman was recognized by most experts as ineffective. This article is a brief overview about understanding of the risks of developing breast cancer in young women and a possible personalized screening in this group of patients.
