Abstract
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women after lung cancer1. Obesity, personal history, and family history are well-known factors associated with increased risk of breast cancer2. The American Cancer Society recommends all women with increased risk for breast cancer to begin screening with mammograms at the latest by age 403. Previous studies have shown conflicting data on the likelihood of obese women undergoing routine breast cancer screening.
