The Australian Women’s Weekly has joined with Pink Hope for the 2017 #KnowYourRisk breast and ovarian cancer awareness campaign.

As part of the campaign, the magazine is promoting Pink Hope’s Know Your Risk questionnaire which assesses personal risks of developing breast or ovarian cancer and details preventative measures to discuss with medical advisors.

660,000 Australian women are estimated to be at moderate to high risk of developing breast or ovarian cancer. At least 10% of those women carry the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene fault which increases their lifetime risk of cancer.
