Cancer Risk Calculator: Estimate Your Risk for 26 Types of Cancer

Cancer Risk Calculator is an Android application that estimates your risk for 26 types of cancer based on 350 different risk factors described in scientific literature. The program displays results for 10-, 20- and 30-year timeframes, subdivided into anatomical or pathological subtypes if possible. It requires an account to be created and accurate information to be entered, including age, gender, and racial background. All other information is optional but will influence your risk for at least one type of cancer. The lifetime probabilities of developing cancers are based on USA data from the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Program of Cancer Registries.
