The paper shows the possibility of assessment of individual risk of developing breast cancer in women using an algorithm based on Bayes ' theorem. An epidemiological study (such as "case-control"), the prevalence of known risk factors for breast cancer in the female population of the Omsk region (n = 1002). The estimation of informativenes of risk factors for breast cancer signs and in terms of the likelihood ratio. Defined sensitivity and specificity of the proposed diagnostic test.
