Question inheritance of breast cancer

I am aware that the risk of breast cancer is increased when a mother or sister has been a victim. But what if a person's paternal aunt has it? Does that put them at higher risk?

I think your risk is higher than someone with no family risk, but if not mistaken, it is even higher when the history comes from your mother or sister.
