Free educational checklist for breast cancer risk conversations: age, first-degree family history, atypical hyperplasia/LCIS, reproductive timing, BRCA status, and personal history. This is not the NCI Gail model and does not show 5-year or lifetime percent risk.

Sex
Current age band
First-degree relatives with breast cancer (mother, sister, daughter)
Ever told you had atypical ductal hyperplasia, atypical lobular hyperplasia, or LCIS on a breast biopsy?
Age at first menstrual period
First full-term pregnancy
BRCA1 or BRCA2 genetic test result (if tested)
History of invasive breast cancer or DCIS
Checklist points (female model): 2
Fewer major checklist factors in this model
Your answers do not add many of the historical factors this educational checklist weights heavily. Average population risk still exists; screening recommendations depend on age and country-specific guidelines.
Continue age-appropriate screening discussions with your clinician. Report new breast symptoms promptly.
Important limitations
This is not the NCI Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool (Gail), IBIS, or Tyrer-Cuzick. It does not output 5-year or lifetime absolute risk. Dense breasts, alcohol, weight, exercise, and many genes are not scored here. For formal risk numbers, use validated tools with professional interpretation.
None, one, or two-plus affected first-degree relatives—often a starting point for genetic counseling and MRI eligibility discussions.
Pathogenic variants trigger a dedicated high-risk pathway in this tool; negative or unknown results continue through the general checklist.
High-risk benign pathology and some reproductive timing patterns are weighted in many educational models—always confirm pathology reports with your clinician.
Broad age groups align with when mammography and supplemental screening conversations are common—not a substitute for national screening program rules.
If you report invasive breast cancer or DCIS, the tool defers to specialist follow-up rather than a primary-prevention score.
Male breast cancer is uncommon; the checklist explains limits and when to seek care for symptoms or known mutations.
Female, ages 50–59, no first-degree family history, no atypical biopsy, menarche at 12+, first birth before 30, BRCA status unknown, no prior breast cancer.

Still follow age-appropriate screening and report new symptoms promptly.
Answers are converted into a small integer score for female users without a pathogenic BRCA result and without a personal breast cancer history. Higher scores reflect more factors that guidelines and reviews often associate with elevated discussion of enhanced screening or prevention—but the score is not calibrated to population incidence and is not a substitute for the NCI Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool or other licensed models.
