Olivia Munn revealed that she has breast cancer and has battled the disease since 2023.
After actress Oliva Munn revealed this week she has breast cancer, an online tool used by her doctor helped in part lead to the discovery that she had the disease. Munn wrote in an Instagram post that her doctor used a breast cancer risk assessment tool to determine her lifetime risk for the disease which is 37%. The actress, who has battled breast cancer since 2023, had an MRI that found Luminal B cancer, "an aggressive, fast moving cancer," in both breasts.
Moreover, the tool can’t accurately estimate breast cancer risk for women carrying a breast-cancer-producing mutation and women with a previous history of invasive breast cancer.Even if a woman’s risk can be estimated by the calculator, these predictions don’t allow someone to say which woman will develop breast cancer. National Cancer Institute explains that some women who don’t develop breast cancer have higher risk estimates than some women who do develop breast cancer.
