The Gail Model

The Gail model is a validated breast cancer risk assessment tool that is primarily based on non-modifiable breast cancer risk factors.

It is a multivariable statistical model that uses age, age at menarche, age at first live birth, family history of breast cancer, and number of breast biopsies to estimate breast cancer risk in individuals without a previous history of breast cancer.

It has been shown to accurately estimate the proportion of woman in whom breast cancer will develop when used in large groups. However, it performs poorly in discriminating between individual women in whom breast cancer will and will not develop.
