Breast Health Assessment

Do you need to
see me?

Five questions. Two minutes. Based on the NCCN Breast Cancer Screening & Diagnosis Guidelines (v1.2026), this tool will tell you whether you should book a consultation with me — and how urgently.

This covers current symptoms, your age, personal medical history, family history, and any prior mammogram results. It is not a diagnosis — it's a starting point for a conversation.

Based on NCCN Guidelines Version 1.2026 · March 2026

Step 1 of 5 — Current Symptoms

Are you experiencing anything unusual in your breast, nipple, or armpit?

Select all that apply. If nothing applies, choose the last option.

A new lump, thickening, asymmetry, or change in breast shape or contour

New nipple inversion or pulling inward (not present since birth)

Nipple discharge — especially spontaneous, bloody, or from one breast or duct

Skin changes: dimpling, redness, thickening, scaling, orange-peel texture, or ulcers

Breast pain lasting more than 4 weeks (persistent or severe)

A new lump or swelling in the armpit

None of the above — I have no current symptoms

Step 2 of 5 — Age

Which age group are you in?

Screening recommendations are age-specific under NCCN guidelines.

Under 25

25 to 39

40 to 49

50 to 74

75 or older

Step 3 of 5 — Personal Medical History

Have you ever been told you have any of the following?

These are established risk-modifiers in NCCN screening pathways.

A known high-risk gene mutation — BRCA1, BRCA2, TP53, PALB2, CDH1, PTEN, or STK11

Radiation therapy to the chest between ages 10 and 30 (e.g. for Hodgkin lymphoma)

Atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH), lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS), or atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH) on a prior biopsy

None of these apply to me

Step 4 of 5 — Family History

Has anyone in your biological family had breast or ovarian cancer?

Include parents, siblings, children, grandparents, aunts, and uncles.

A parent, sibling, or child diagnosed with breast cancer (first-degree relative)

A grandparent, aunt, or uncle diagnosed with breast cancer (second-degree relative)

Any family member diagnosed with ovarian cancer

A male family member diagnosed with breast cancer

Multiple family members with breast or ovarian cancer

No known family history of breast or ovarian cancer

Step 5 of 5 — Mammogram History

Have you ever had a mammogram?

Breast density — if reported — is an independent risk factor under NCCN guidelines.

No — I have never had a mammogram

Yes — and I was told I have dense breasts (heterogeneously or extremely dense)

Yes — normal or scattered density (no dense tissue reported)

Not sure / I don't remember the density result
