Given Dawn's family history of breast cancer, her doctor would most likely recommend a mammogram now to screen for possible issues. With a significant risk factor such as multiple family members affected, early screening may be warranted, possibly along with genetic counseling to evaluate her risk further.
While discussing her family history, Dawn tells her doctor that her mother and two aunts have been treated for breast cancer. The recommended age for a mammogram is 35, and Dawn is barely 22. Given her family history, what will Dawn's doctor MOST likely do?
