title: [Risk factors: assessment at the initial examination].
abstract: Risk factors can be characterized as anamnestic or prospective (important regarding the outcome). The relative risk rises with the number of ovulatory menstrual cycles. Contraceptive pills and combined estrogen-gestagen therapy do not rise the relative risk. Irradiation of the breast leads to a higher risk depending on the applicated dose and the age of the irradiated subject. It is though important to state that the irradiation in mammographic examination of the breast is so minimal that it can be neglected and that no increased risk for the contralateral breast after irradiation for breast cancer could be documented.
