General informationTo calculate your risk, BRRISK uses a validated algorithm that incorporates New Zealand breast cancer prevalence along with your personal and family information you entered.
As the risk of breast cancer changes over time, we recommend you update your personal details when changes occur or if there has been a change in the information recorded about your family history. If you are attending regular mammograms, then this is also a useful time to review BRRISK. Remember to ask for your breast density measurement as this is a factor in assessing your risk.
Your risk of developing cancer in the next 5 years is 0.00%. In other words, about “0 out of 1000” women with these risk factors will develop cancer over the next 5 year period.
Your risk of developing breast cancer by the age of 80 is 0.00%, compared to the average population risk of 0.00%.
Your lifetime risk from age 20 of having breast cancer is 0.00%. According to the eviQ guidelines you would be in the Population risk category.
Your risk between ages 40 and 50 of having breast cancer is 0.00%. According to the eviQ guideline you would be in the Population risk category.
It is important that you promptly report any changes in your breasts to your doctor, especially:
The following information provides some of the risk management strategies used in each group based on international guidelines.
| Near population risk | Moderate risk | High risk | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lifetime risk from age 20 | Less than 17% | 17% or greater but less than 30% | 30% or greater |
| Risk between ages 40 and 50 | Less than 3% | 3% or greater to 8% | Greater than 8% |
In New Zealand, approximately 10% of women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime.
Women with this level of risk are considered to be at population risk of breast cancer. Most women in this category will not develop breast cancer.
Women with this level of risk are considered to have a "moderately increased" risk of breast cancer when compared to the general population. Most women in this category will not develop breast cancer.
Risk management strategies can include.
Discuss with your GP regarding the above or a referral to a breast specialist can be considered.
Your chance of being diagnosed with breast cancer is significantly higher when compared to the general population. It is important to note that not all women with this result will develop breast cancer and that a higher level is surveillance should be discussed your Doctor.
