Abstract

Several models have been generated to estimate breast cancer risk and to predict the probability to identify a BRCA1 or BRCA2 germ line mutation. Each model, based on a slightly different study design and purpose, takes into account a definite number of relevant parameters and ultimately pertains to a specific cohort of women or population. Aim of this work is to underline validity and limits of available tools and their appropriate use in the daily practice.
