Care study risk assessment for breast cancer
Actual
A study published Wednesday has linked newer-generation birth control pills with breast cancer; the link had already been established for older variants of hormonal contraception. The link with cancer risk exists for not only older generations of hormonal contraceptives but also the products that many women use today, according to a paper published Wednesday in The New England Journal of Medicine. The study used an average of 10 years of data from more than 1. These results sound scary at first. However, in practice, the picture is far more complex. Overall, the study found that women who used birth control had a 20 percent increase in their relative risk for developing breast cancer.

Please fill out required fields. Lifetime risk estimates assume a life expectancy of 90 years. Evidence Appraisal The original Gail model also known as Gail model 1 was developed in using data derived from a subset of the Breast Cancer Detection Demonstration Project, a breast cancer screening program that ran from to , and was initially designed to predict the risk of developing invasive cancer or carcinoma in situ. The Gail model was modified by statisticians also known as Gail model 2 in order to predict the risk of invasive cancer specifically, and the modified version is the basis for the model that is widely used today. Gail and colleagues carried out a case-control study in looking specifically at risk for black women, and found that the original model underestimated the risk in this population. They developed a model based on data from 1, black women with invasive breast cancer and 1, without in the Women's Contraceptive and Reproductive Experiences CARE Study and found that The Gail model now incorporates these findings to estimate risk for black women.

There is no sure way to prevent breast cancer. But there are things you can do that might lower your risk. Many risk factors are beyond your control , such as being female and getting older. But other risk factors can be changed and may lower your risk.
