Olivia Munn Diagnosed with Aggressive Breast Cancer, Credits Risk Assessment for Early Detection
Actress Olivia Munn's life was potentially saved by a breast cancer risk assessment score, leading to the early detection of Luminal B cancer in both breasts.
- Olivia Munn, 43, was diagnosed with Luminal B breast cancer, an aggressive form of the disease, after a breast cancer risk assessment score indicated a high risk.
- Despite a negative mammogram and genetic tests, the high-risk score prompted further evaluations, including an MRI and ultrasound, which detected the cancer.
- The Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool (BCRAT), also known as the Gail Model, is used to predict a woman's risk of developing invasive breast cancer.
- Munn's case highlights the importance of individual risk assessments and the potential limitations of standard mammograms, especially for women with high breast density or other risk factors.
- Health experts emphasize the role of risk assessment tools in cancer prevention and the importance of discussing risk scores with healthcare providers.
