TWO STEPS
TO CONFIDENCE
assessment of personal risks of breast cancer
and breast self-examination
- 1 Take a short test to assess your personal risks of developing breast cancer
-
2
Watch a video
on breast
self-examination
It will take only 5–10 minutes, but it can change a lot
Why is it important?
-
The results of the test for determining personal risks of developing breast cancer are not a medical diagnosis, but they help assess individual predispositions to the disease
By answering the questions, you will receive not just numbers, but a reason to have a meaningful discussion about your breast health with your doctor
-
Breast cancer detected at an early stage is curable in 90% of cases 1
Regular self-examination is a skill that allows you to notice the slightest changes and seek medical advice in time
TEST FOR ASSESSING THE RISKS OF DEVELOPING BREAST CANCER
Take the test that allows you to determine your personal risks of developing breast cancer 2
Important! This test is not suitable for women with:
- a history of breast cancer, non-invasive ductal or lobular carcinoma
- mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes, as well as hereditary syndromes associated with a high risk of developing the disease
RESULTS
Risk of developing breast cancer within the next 5 years
(A 5-year risk of ≥1.7% is considered elevated)
Risk of developing breast cancer over a lifetime
Important!
The breast cancer risk assessment test is not a diagnostic tool, and its results do not constitute a diagnosis or replace an individual consultation with a practicing physician
Although the test makes it possible to assess risks with fairly high accuracy, these predictions cannot determine with certainty whether a particular woman will develop breast cancer.
Some women who do not develop the disease may have higher risk scores than those who eventually do.
We recommend that you take a screenshot of your test results and discuss them with your doctor
Regular breast self-examination is a simple but important practice of conscious care for your health
It allows you to closely observe the features of your breasts and notice any possible changes in time, which plays a key role in the early detection of breast cancer.
In our video, you will learn how to correctly perform breast self-examination and massage, what changes to pay attention to, and what else is important to do for the prevention of breast diseases.
