Breast cancer can affect any woman – regardless of her genetic make-up but the risk of developing breast cancer can be reduced by lifestyle.
The Breast Cancer Prevention & Risk Assessment Clinic empowers women to improve their breast health by using scientific evidence, plans for prevention, their breast cancer risk, what actions to take, and why to take them. In the two years these free clinics have been running, more than 400 women have taken part.

The Clinic uses two different assessment tools to determine a woman’s risk of breast cancer. You can find the questionnaires here.
