Making Better Decisions to Prevent Breast Cancer. Elissa Ozanne, Harvard Medical School, Laura Esserman, University of California San Francisco Medical Center. A woman's risk profile is crucial to the decision-making process when considering options to prevent breast cancer. Biological markers hold promise to improve the prediction of risk and the response to interventions. The authors discuss the pilot version of software that helps physicians advise patients about their individual cancer risk and how to weigh the prevention and treatment choices. Sunday, October 24, 1:30 3:00 PM, Plaza Building -Directors Row H Sports and Math Geeks

Can't make the pros? Crunch the numbers instead. James J. Cochran, Louisiana State University.
