Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool for Women With Benign Breast Disease (BBD) The BBD/AH-BC model predicts the risk of developing future breast cancer for women after a breast biopsy showing benign findings, including atypical hyperplasia.
The Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool (BCRAT), also known as The Gail Model, allows health professionals to estimate a woman's risk of developing invasive breast cancer over the next five years and up to age 90 (lifetime risk).
Breast cancer risk assessment takes into account several aspects of your gynecologic health, personal history of breast biopsies, breast density and family history to calculate whether you may be more likely than average to develop breast cancer.
Two of the most commonly used clinical tools are the Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool (BCRAT, otherwise known as the Gail Model) and the IBIS (otherwise known as the Tyrer-Cuzick model). These calculators help provide estimates for future risk, including your 5-year risk, 10-year risk, and lifetime risk.
Learn about this comprehensive evaluation to determine whether your breast cancer risk is higher than average.
