Similarly, the American College of Breast Surgeons advises all women over age 25 to undergo risk assessment. There are a variety of risk assessment models available [1, 2, 3].
The risk assessment model used in this tool is based on the modified GAIL model for absolute risk of breast cancer. Calculators such as this one can overestimate or underestimate your risk. Use the links below to compare your result with similar tools.

Breast Cancer Risk
MyRiskBreastCancer calculator allows women to estimate their breast cancer risk using personal medical and reproductive history. The calculator is intended to be used by women in the United States who were assigned female at birth. It may underestimate or overestimate risk for some subgroups of women and has not been validated for men or transgender individuals. This tool is not a replacement for clinical judgment from a physician.

1 in 8 women
Did you know that 1 out of every 8 women in the United States develop breast cancer in their lifetime? That means that the average risk for a woman is about 13%.

Screening
Screening is looking for signs of disease before a person has symptoms. The goal of screening mammography is to find cancer at an early stage when it can be treated and cured.
The American College of Radiology recommends that most women should start getting annual mammograms at age 40. Women who are Higher-Than-Average Risk for Breast Cancer should begin at age 30.
This includes: Women with a lifetime breast cancer risk of 20% or more. 2. Women with high-risk genetic mutations such as those with BRCA1 or BRCA2.\n3. Women with a history of chest radiation therapy.
Tools for Risk Assessment
There are multiple tools for calculating your risk of breast cancer that have undergone extensive validation.. However, these tools can still underestimate or overestimate risk.
About
The Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool allows women and men to estimate their risk of developing invasive breast cancer over the next 5 years and up to age 85 (lifetime risk). The tool uses a woman’s personal medical and reproductive history and the history of breast cancer among her first-degree relatives (mother, sisters, daughters) to estimate absolute breast cancer risk—her chance or probability of developing invasive breast cancer in a defined age interval.
Additional information
The tool is intended for use in white women, black/African American women, Hispanic women and for Asian and Pacific Islander women in the United States. The tool may underestimate risk in black women with previous biopsies and Hispanic women born outside the United States. Because data on American Indian/Alaska Native women are limited, their risk estimates are partly based on data for white women and may be inaccurate. Further studies are needed to refine and validate these models. This tool cannot accurately estimate breast cancer risk for: Women carrying a breast-cancer-producing mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2 Women with a previous history of invasive or in situ breast cancer (lobular carcinoma in situ or ductal carcinoma in situ) Women in certain other subgroups (see Other Risk Assessment Tools section) 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.

Recommendations.
This tool uses screening recommendations from the American College of Radiology (ACR) that recommends women start getting annual mammograms at age 40. By not getting annual mammograms, starting at age 40, you increase your chances of dying from breast cancer and the likelihood that you will experience more extensive treatment for any cancers found. Alternative guidelines from American Cancer Society and U.S. Preventive Services Task Force were not included in this tool.
Source code.
Breast cancer absolute risk predictions were translated to the Dart coding language from the original GAIL model with the Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool open source code from the National Cancer Institute. Calculator is available at https://www.bcrisktool.cancer.gov
Your age?
This tool calculates risk for women between the ages of 20 and 85 years old.
What is your race/ethnicity?
Rates of breast cancer in the United States vary by race and ethnicity. White women and black women have the highest incidence of breast cancer overall. American Indian and Alaska Native women have the lowest incidence.
What was your age at the time of first menstrual period?
Starting menstrual periods at a young age is linked to a small increase in breast cancer risk.
What was your age when you gave birth to your first child? //removed the
Both the age when a woman gives birth to her first child and the number of children a woman has affect her risk of breast cancer. Women who give birth to their first child at age 35 or younger tend to get a protective benefit from pregnancy.
How many of your first-degree relatives (mother, sisters, daughters) have or had breast cancer?
People with a family history of breast cancer, ovarian cancer or prostate cancer have an increased risk of breast cancer. The increased risk is likely due to genetic factors but may also be due to shared lifestyle factors or other family traits.
Have you ever had a breast biopsy with a benign (not cancer) diagnosis?
Benign breast conditions (also called benign breast diseases) are non-cancerous breast disorders. Some benign breast conditions are linked to an increased risk of breast cancer and others are not.
How many breast biopsies with a benign diagnosis (not cancer) have you had?
Benign breast conditions (also called benign breast diseases) are non-cancerous breast disorders. Some benign breast conditions are linked to an increased risk of breast cancer and others are not.
Have you ever had a breast biopsy with atypical hyperplasia?
Women who have breast hyperplasia have an increased risk of breast cancer.
Do you have a medical history of any invasive breast cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS)?
When abnormal cells grow inside the lobules of the breast, but have not spread to nearby tissue or beyond, the condition is called lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS). Although the term LCIS includes the word “carcinoma,” LCIS is not invasive breast cancer. However, LCIS increases the risk of invasive breast cancer. Compared to women without LCIS, those with LCIS are 7-11 times more likely to develop invasive breast cancer.
Do you have a mutation in either the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene, or a diagnosis of a genetic syndrome that may be associated with elevated risk of breast cancer?
Women who have a BRCA1 or BRCA2 inherited gene mutation have an increased risk of breast cancer.
Have you received previous radiation therapy?
People exposed to large amounts of radiation early in life, such as radiation treatment to the chest area for childhood cancer, have an increased risk of breast cancer. For example, women treated with radiation therapy to the chest area for Hodgkin’s at a young age have about 3-7 times the risk of breast cancer compared to women who had Hodgkin’s disease at a young age, but were never treated with radiation therapy. People exposed to very low doses of radiation (such as from X-rays) don’t have much, if any, increase in breast cancer risk.
