English
Authors' objectives:
To assess the effectiveness in term of predictive accuracy of breast cancer risk assessment/prediction models among women; and to assess the safety, organizational, ethical issues and economic implications related to risk assessment/prediction models for breast cancer among women.
Authors' recommendations:
Although this review showed that the Gail model had good calibration and moderate discriminative ability, it is
not suitable to be introduced as one of the strategy in the prevention of breast cancer under the Malaysian
National Cancer Control Programme yet as it needs further validation until a well-fitted model that would have better predictive ability tailored to Malaysian population established. In addition, this model needs continual
validation to determine the consistency of its performance.
