Avera Breast Cancer Risk Assessment
As a service of Avera, the Breast Cancer Risk Assessment is a valuable online resource that will help you understand your risk of developing breast cancer, and provide tools and information about detecting, preventing and fighting it.
According to the American Cancer Society, approximately 182,460 women in the United States will be found to have invasive breast cancer in 2008. But the earlier breast cancer is found, the better the chances that treatment will work.
It is important you know the risk factors and symptoms of breast cancer because catching it early can greatly improve the results of treatment – saving you time, pain and potentially your life. When finished taking the risk assessment, you will learn your risk level, what factors put you at risk, and what that risk level means.
