What’s
your
ris
One in eight women will
diagnosed with breast cancer
during her lifetime—it’s a statistic
we’ve heard often. But this
leaves out a lot of details.
BY LAMBETH HOCHWALD
Fact is, breast cancer risk varies widely depending on age, genetics,
medical history, and maybe even diet. Sound confusing? It is. So we asked
several top cancer specialists to help develop a quiz that weighs these
variables for a more personalized take. Just bear in mind that this is not
a scientific tool. “ No matter what your breast cancer risk, it’s critical to
be in the loop with your doctor,” says Richard L. Shapiro, M.D., a breast
surgeon and associate professor at New York University Langone Medical
Center in New York City. To get the conversation started, answer the
questions below and add up the point values of your answers. Then turn
