Please start your screening for breast cancer and ovarian cancer annually
You can get an annual clinical health check up, with USG breast or MRI breast for screening and an USG abdomen as well
Self examination of breast periodically for any palpable lumps. Don't neglect any palpable masses and consult a qualified doctor
