Risk Calculation
- There are several breast cancer risk assessment tools. Many health care professionals use the Gail model to calculate a woman’s risk of breast cancer. This model assesses breast cancer risk based on a series of personal health questions that women and their doctors answer together. The result is a Gail score, which estimates the risk of developing invasive breast cancer in the next 5 years.
