FL - BBM Breast Cancer Prevention WHO definitions Primary prevention: covers all activities designed  to reduce the incidence of an illness in a population risk  to reduce the risk of new cases appearing Secondary prevention: (early screening/diagnosis)  to reduce the prevalence of an illness in a population  to reduce its duration Tertiary prevention:  to reduce the incidence of chronic incapacity or recurrences in a population,  to reduce the functional consequences of an illness  knowledge of independent risk factors of the disease  efficient risk reduction options

FL - BBM How do we assess BC risk? Models Gail, Claus, Tyrer Cuzick  The most common models used to predict a woman’s risk of breast cancer BRCAPRO, Frank, Cough  Used in a subset of the high-risk population to predict a woman’s probability of having a genetic mutation

FL - BBM Breast Cancer Risk Assessment How ? Models  The Gail risk assessment model  estimates the risk of developing breast cancer in women undergoing annual screening.  Gail et al used data from 284,780 predominately white women in 28 participating centers of the Breast Cancer Detection Demonstration Project (BCDDP) to develop the model.  An unconditional logistic regression model  based on the ratio of risk in a woman with specified risk factors compared with the risk in a woman with no risk factors.

Breast Cancer Risk Assessment How ? Models: Gail Advantages  Use is widespread, with many forms of access (National Cancer Institute [NCI] Web site, handheld and computer applications).  Applicable to the largest number of women  Has been validated  Has been shown to be well calibrated.Limitations  Does not show great discriminatory power (predicts population risk well, but not individual risk).  58%-65%-73% discriminatory  Not sufficient family history Rockhill et al.
