Olivia Munn Advocates for Breast Cancer Risk Calculator Following Diagnosis

The actress's early detection story highlights the tool's importance in assessing individual risk and guiding preventive measures.

Actress Olivia Munn credits a breast cancer risk calculator for the early detection of her aggressive Luminal B cancer, leading to timely treatment.
The Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool, recommended by Munn, is available on the National Cancer Institute's website and has seen a significant increase in visits.
This tool estimates a woman's risk of developing breast cancer based on factors like age, family history, and lifestyle, providing both a lifetime and a five-year risk score.
Experts emphasize the importance of consulting healthcare professionals for risk assessment and appropriate imaging techniques, rather than self-diagnosing.
Mammogram guidelines target women at average risk, but knowing one's personalized risk can inform earlier and potentially life-saving interventions.
