Standard tailoring explanation:

BREAST CANCER: Our best estimate of your 5-year risk

We used the information you gave us at the beginning of this program to estimate the risk of breast cancer for people like you in the next 5 years.

Our estimate of this risk is: 10.3%. Among women like you, 10.3% would be diagnosed with breast cancer in the next five years.

This means that if there were a room of 100 women like you, 10.3 would get breast cancer in the next 5 years.

Detailed tailoring explanation:

BREAST CANCER: Our best estimate of your 5-year risk

You told us that you have the following characteristics: You are White You are 70 Started your period before age 12 Have had no live births Have 2 relatives with breast cancer Have had 1 biopsy

Based on these traits, our estimate of your personal risk of developing breast cancer in the next 5 years is: 10.3%. Among women who, like you, are 70 years old and White, 10.3% would be diagnosed with breast cancer in the next 5 years. This means that if there were a room of 100 seventy year old White women who were just like you in all the traits listed above, 10.3 would get breast cancer in the next 5 years.
