I think the most important risk factor is the Age.(>50)
Other risk factors include:
being a woman, family history, cancer in one breast, periods starting before age 12 and menopause after age 50, having first pregnancy after age 30, exposure to radiation, HRT, obisity, diet, no breast feeding or those who never gave birth, race(slightly more common in caucasians), about 5% have a genetic link to do with mutation in genes BRCA1 and BRCA2.

In a 60 year old woman with a painless lump in the right upper outer quadrant of her breast, the greatest risk factor for it representing a malignant tumor would be
A. It's location in the upper outer quadrant
B. The fact that she is 60 years old
C. History of a sister with breast cancer
D. History of moter with breast cancer
E. History of breast cancer in the contralateral breast

Im torn between b and e, Ill go with e.
(P.S) We should beat this into the ground.-At this point in time it is a HOT topic! Also society tends to support ladies with Breast CA compared to a decrepit old man with prostate CA. {Im not biased, just mentioning how people think about these 2 high impact CAs.} Id work them both up with the same amount of vigor!!
