Breast cancer risk assessment by Gail Model in women of Baghdad

The mean five year BCR for all women was 0.95 ± 1.4%, and 19 (7.6%) of them had a five year BCR ⩾1.7%. Mean lifetime BCR up to age 90 years was 11.13 ± 4.7% and 6 (2.4%) women had high risk. Based on these findings, it can be suggested that employing Gail Model for BCR assessment can help healthcare providers in Iraq to estimate an individual's probability of developing BC for screening and prevention.
