What is a Gail Score?

The Gail Score is a statistical tool used to estimate a woman's risk of developing breast cancer over the next 5 years. The score is based on a model that includes risk factors such as age, family history, reproductive history, and history of breast disease. It is used by healthcare providers to help make decisions about breast cancer screening and prevention strategies.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ GS = (45 \times 0.1) + (2 \times 0.2) + (1 \times 0.3) = 4.5 + 0.4 + 0.3 = 5.2 \]

The Gail Score is 5.2 % (5-year risk).

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ GS = (50 \times 0.1) + (1 \times 0.2) + (2 \times 0.3) = 5 + 0.2 + 0.6 = 5.8 \]

The Gail Score is 5.8 % (5-year risk).
