The BBD/AH-BC model predicts the risk of developing future breast cancer for women after a breast biopsy showing benign findings, including atypical hyperplasia. The result of the model can be used to help providers and patients choose among options for surveillance and prevention of breast cancer.
This calculator is intended for use by health care providers. The results should not be used alone to determine medical treatment. This tool is a statistical model and is not a substitute for an individual treatment plan developed by a health care provider with personal knowledge of a specific patient. Factors such as medical history and the health care provider’s experience, knowledge, and training must also be considered. Results should be discussed with patients when presenting prognoses or treatment recommendations.
Please choose from the following categories.
The biopsy did not contain any of the lesions listed under AH or PDWA above, but did contain at least one of the following:
