Is there an upper limit on the ages at cancer diagnosis considered by the CanRisk Tool?
Is there an upper limit on the ages at cancer diagnosis considered by the CanRisk Tool?
The risk models used by the CanRisk Tool assume that family members are observed only up to age 80, owing to a lack of reliable data beyond age 80. As a result, cancer diagnoses that occur at or over the age of 80 are not included in the breast or ovarian risk calculations. So individuals with a cancer diagnosis older than this are assumed to be unaffected at age 80.
