Breast Cancer Online Risk Tool is designed by scientists at the National Cancer Institute (National Institutes of Health) and the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP), to estimate a woman's risk of developing malignant breast neoplasm (breast cancer). This online tool has been updated for African American women based on the CARE Study (Contraceptive and Reproductive Experiences Study), and for Pacific Islander and Asian women in the U. S. based on the AABCS Study (Asian American Breast Cancer Study).
Before using the breast cancer risk calculator, please note the following:
The breast cancer online risk tool was designed to be used by health professionals. If you're not a health professional, we strongly recommend to discuss the results obtained with the breast cancer risk calculator and your personal risk of breast cancer with your doctor.
The breast cancer online risk tool can be periodically updated as new information's or research's becomes available.
This tool should not be used to estimate breast cancer risk for those who have already had a diagnosis of breast cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), or lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS).
