title: Quantifying the risk of breast cancer.
abstract: Although all women are potentially breast cancer sufferers, we need to develop a risk index in order to recognize the most vulnerable. Multiple promoting factors are suspected in breast cancer and recent research suggests that different types of clinical risk factor may interact to multiply a women's risk. Such women require skillful counselling with more frequent monitoring and advice about possible protective measures.
