Olivia Munn's Breast Cancer Journey: Diagnosis, Gratitude, and Awareness

Actress Olivia Munn credits a breast cancer risk-assessment score for detecting her cancer just months after a negative mammogram and negative genetic tests. The high-risk score prompted further evaluations, leading to the detection of cancer in both breasts. The breast cancer risk assessment tool (BCRAT) helps predict a female’s risk of developing invasive breast cancer within the next five years and up to 90 years of age. Health experts recommend individual risk assessments and discuss controllable factors such as maintaining a healthy body weight, diet, and exercise to help lower the risk of breast cancer.
