Researchers at the University of Cambridge believe that predicting the risk of breast cancer has become easier thanks to a new technology based on DNA testing, family history of cancer, and basic health checks.
The researchers have developed a rigorous test to calculate the risk of breast cancer in women at any stage of their lives, and called it "changing the rules of the game."
The test, which is being piloted by specialist physicians, used more than 300 genetic indicators, along with weight, alcohol intake and other medical information, including the age of menopause for older women.
The combination of medical tests and their diverse findings, including family history and genetics, has enabled scientists to identify the most vulnerable women.
