BRCAPRO

BRCAPRO is a statistical model used to estimate a woman's likelihood of carrying a mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes, which are linked to a higher risk of breast and ovarian cancer. By analyzing personal and family medical histories, the tool helps healthcare providers assess cancer risk. This assessment can guide decisions about genetic testing and preventive measures. Understanding this risk is crucial for women with a family history of these cancers, as it can lead to early detection strategies and tailored healthcare plans.
