Prado, A. et al (2010) J Plast Reconstr Aesthet Surg 63, 1581-1587
5. Risk modeling
• Gail Model - Limitations
Does not incorporate second-degree relatives with breast cancer, age at
diagnosis, or presence of ovarian cancer
May overestimate risk in women with nonproliferative breast lesions
Has lower accuracy for individual risk prediction
Uses older population prevalence data associated with lower baseline
incidence rates
Rockhill, B., et al (2001) J Natl Cancer Inst 93, 358-366
Edwards, et al (2008) The Journal for Nurse Practitioners 4, 361-369
6. Risk modeling
• Claus Model - Limitations
May underestimate risk in hereditary families
May not be applicable to all combinations of affected relatives members
Does not incorporate non-familial risk factors

11. Conclusion
• Risk factors
– ≠ importance
– Modifiable (prevention), non-modifiable
– Risk ≠ inevitable disease
• Risk models
– ≠ models -> ≠ risk factors
– Carefull interpretation
– Helps the decision on the prevention options for breast
cancer
