Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool

Breast cancer is well known as one of the cancer that threatens woman. This disease threatens women, regardless race, ethnicity and demographics. Thus, in order to predict the risk of a woman being diagnosed with breast cancer, an individual risk assessment is developed. This is because early detect...

Original Gail model considering six attributes including age, age at first menstrual period, age at the time of the birth of first child, number of first-degree relatives that have breast cancer, breast biopsies and race/ethnicity.
