“My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer,” wrote the 45 -year -old actress.
“You may know that when I talk about my own battle with cancer, I propose the evaluation test of the risk of a lifetime that saved my life. I would never have planned to save my mother’s life too.”

Although there are several risk assessment tools available for patients and doctors, the breast cancer risk assessment tool is one of the most common, Fox News Digital reported.

It is named after Dr. Mitchell Gail, a nih -distinguished researcher at the National Cancer Institute, according to a spokesman for National Cancer Institute (NCI).
