NCI - Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool
Calculate a patient's risk of breast cancer

There..is..nothing..specifically..mentioned..about..
any..history..of..breastfeeding..in..this..assessment..tool..

Is..there..a..giant..case..of.."The..Emperor's..New..
Clothes"..syndrome..going..on..in..relation..to..
breast..cancer..research?

General..statistics..are..one..thing..frequently..
given..as..a..benefit..Then..why..do..we..not..see..more..frequently..an.
.inclusion..of..data..on..an..
individual's..breastfeeding..history..as..an..
important..research..variable?

Sorry..my..keyboard..is..on..the..fritz.
