How 10-Year Breast Cancer Risk Is Calculated

10-Year Breast Cancer Risk represents the percentage chance you will be diagnosed with breast cancer in the next ten years. This calculation uses the Tyrer-Cuzick model, also known as the IBIS model, to analyze both genetic and lifestyle factors.

First, the tool establishes a baseline risk based on your age and population statistics. Next, it adjusts this number by factoring in family history of breast or ovarian cancer and known genetic mutations like BRCA. Finally, it considers personal health details like breast density, BMI, and hormone use. This comprehensive method provides a highly individualized risk assessment compared to standard averages.

What Your 10-Year Breast Cancer Risk Means

This percentage reveals the statistical probability of being diagnosed with breast cancer within the next decade compared to the average woman your age. Knowing this number empowers you to take proactive steps toward prevention and early detection. It is important to remember that risk is not a diagnosis, but a guide for future healthcare planning.

Average Risk

If your result is close to the population average, which varies by age but is generally low for younger women, following standard mammogram guidelines is usually recommended.

High Risk

Results significantly above average, often exceeding 3%, may qualify you for additional screenings like breast MRI or discussions about risk-reducing medications.

Low Risk

A score below the average indicates fewer risk factors, though maintaining regular clinical breast exams and self-awareness is still essential for long-term health.
