Can you elaborate on the risk factors for a DES exposed woman, late 40's and how often screening should be done?

DES exposure does increase breast cancer risk although study numbers are modest. Monthly breast self-exam and annual screening digital mammography are recommended. If breast are markedly dense (greater than 75 percent) consider tomosynthesis or MRI. Please let me know if you would like additional information on this and I will be happy to provide.
