PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES To evaluate current definitions of breast cancer risk and breast cancer risk assessment models, including the Gail, Claus, and BRCAPRO models, and discuss potential markers to enhance and standardize individual risk assessment. DATA SOURCES Published articles, conference proceedings, and textbooks. DATA SYNTHESIS Defining high risk for breast cancer development is explored, and options for high-risk women are discussed. The risk factors frequently used for risk evaluation…

Breast cancer risk and immune responses in healthy women.
TLDR
Objective and subjective breast cancer risk is associated with impaired immune responses and exaggerated biophysiologic responses in healthy women with a family history of breast cancer.
An Evaluation of the Effectiveness of a Nurse-Run Clinic for Women at Increased Risk for Breast Cancer on Anxiety, Depression, and Cancer Worry
TLDR
Evaluation of the effect of a nurse-run clinic for women at increased risk for breast cancer on anxiety, depression, and cancer worry found results were marginally significant for a decrease in anxiety, and non-significant for depression and cancerorry.
Reported mammographic density: film-screen versus digital acquisition.
TLDR
Results showed no difference in reported BI-RADS breast density categories according to acquisition method, which may be useful in the development of breast cancer risk models in which FS, digital, or both acquisition methods are used.
Health Responsibility Levels and Knowledge and Prac tices Related to Early Detection of Women’ Breast Cancer
TLDR
It was explored that the participant women knew CB E, SE and mammography but health responsibility was effective upon turning this know ledge into behavior.
DETERMINING PRACTISING OF BREAST SELF-EXAMINATION AND BREAST CANCER RISK FACTORS IN WOMEN AGED TWENTY YEARS AND OVER LIVING IN A RURAL AREA OF CORUM
TLDR
Health care professionals responsible for the delivery of health services in rural areas for prevention of breast cancer should provide community based education on-site with mobile services about healthy lifestyle behaviors and early diagnosis and in this training should take into account health communication strategies.
Successful Use of Multi-Detector Row Computed Tomography for Detecting Contralateral Breast Cancer
TLDR
Multi-detector row CT has a potential role in detecting contralateral breast cancer in women who are at high risk of breast cancer.
Evaluation of the Impact of Nurses' Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors on Utilization from Breast Cancer Early Diagnosis Methods.
TLDR
Although the mean total score of nurse's Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale and their information on breast cancer prevention were above average, the utilization of breast cancer early detection services was not at the expected levels.

Risk estimation for breast cancer development; a clinical perspective.
The evolution of breast cancer risk assessment.
TLDR
Realizing that the long-term goal of breast cancer risk assessment should be tissue and/or serum-based strategies, the authors introduce the Oklahoma Breast Cancer Project, a tissue bank designed to augment research devoted to molecular biologic markers of risk.
Evaluation of breast cancer risk assessment packages in the family history evaluation and screening programme
TLDR
The Tyrer–Cuzick model is the most consistently accurate model for prediction of breast cancer, although the accuracy of the Claus model may be improved by adjustments for other risk factors.

TLDR
If women with a family history of breast cancer are being counseled regarding decisions on genetic testing, tamoxifen use, or other preventive measures, presenting both Claus and Gail estimates may be the best option.
Rating the Risk Factors for Breast Cancer
TLDR
More precise tools, based on techniques of molecular biology such as microarray analysis, will be needed to assess individual risk for breast cancer.
Limitations of the Gail Model in the Specialized Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Clinic
TLDR
The Gail model is an appropriate risk assessment tool for most women attending specialized clinics, although the inclusion of models better able to account for family history information and personal history of lobular neoplasia is required to accommodate all women.
Understanding Mathematical Models for Breast Cancer Risk Assessment and Counseling
TLDR
The basic components of risk analysis are described, how the mathematical models work and how the strengths and weaknesses of the various models work are explained and CancerGene, a software tool for running all of the models, is described.
Perceptions of breast cancer risk and screening effectiveness in women younger than 50 years of age.
TLDR
A balanced presentation of information about breast cancer risk and screening effectiveness may improve decision making for women younger than 50 years of age and reduce their anxiety about Breast cancer, regardless of whether they choose to be screened.
The calculation of breast cancer risk for women with a first degree family history of ovarian cancer
TLDR
Data on breast and ovarian cancer from the Cancer and Steroid Hormone Study is used to calculate age-specific and cumulative risks of developing breast cancer for a woman with a first degree family history of ovarian cancer.
Breast cancer risk associated with abnormal cytology in nipple aspirates of breast fluid and prior history of breast biopsy.
TLDR
Age-adjusted as well as multivariate-adjusted relative risks indicated that the increased risk of breast cancer associated with proliferative cytologic findings was largely confined to women who had a prior history of breast biopsy.
