BREAST HEALTH: I'm over 35. What is my risk for developing breast cancer? 🤔

Take the assessment here: https://bcrisktool.cancer.gov/

The Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool allows health professionals to estimate a woman's risk of developing invasive breast cancer over the next 5 years and up to age 90 (lifetime risk).

Although a woman's risk may be accurately estimated, these predictions do not allow one to say precisely which woman will develop breast cancer. In fact, some women who do not develop breast cancer have higher risk estimates than some women who do develop breast cancer.

Did you know you can discuss your risk of breast cancer with your OBGYN? Don't hesitate to book an appointment with a health professional if you have any questions or concerns.
