The population risk is defined as the risk of developing contralateral breast cancer for an equivalent woman from the population with the same age at first breast cancer diagnosis, calculated using the BOADICEA model. For the population risk calculation, information on observed genetic factors, other lifestyle/hormonal risk factors or family history are not taken into account.
