Tyrer-Cuzick Risk Assessment Calculator

The Tyrer-Cuzick Risk Assessment Calculator, a nationally accepted standard based on science, helps to measure women’s breast cancer risk factors based on family history, and helps women to better understand their breast cancer risk factors. It allows health professionals to estimate a woman’s risk of developing invasive breast cancer over the next five years and up to age 90.

This tool cannot accurately estimate breast cancer risk for women who:

• Carrying a breast-cancer-producing mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2
• With a previous history of invasive or in-situ breast cancer
  • Lobular cancer in- situ (LCIS)
  • Ductal cancer in-situ (DCIS)
• In certain other subgroups
