Using a risk assessment tool researchers at @cam.ac.uk and @icr.ac.uk have found that NICE referral criteria miss up to 95% of women under 50 who go on to develop breast cancer within 10 years. 🔗 zurl.co/6NNxS @cancerresearchuk.org @breastcancernow.bsky.social

Do we need to empower women with the information they need to understand their personal risk of Breast Cancer? This important research from Cambridge suggests this pro-active approach is both acceptable and preferred by women aged 30-49.
