Risk Assessment Macros and Software Programs

Risk assessment tools developed by DCEG and made available for use by researchers.

  • Asian Pacific Islander American Women Breast Cancer Risk Assessment

    APA_BrCa_RAM is a SAS Macro software that projects absolute breast cancer risk over defined age intervals for Asian and Pacific Islander American women with specific risk factors.

  • Breast Cancer with Mammographic Density Risk Assessment Macro

    BrCa_MD_RAM is a SAS macro that allows the user to project absolute invasive breast cancer risk for white women in the batch mode based on measurements of mammographic density following the methods of Chen et al. (JNCI 2006;98:1215-1226).

  • Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Macro

    BrCa_RAM is a SAS macro that allows the user to project absolute invasive breast cancer risk according to NCI’s Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool (BCRAT) algorithm in the batch mode.

  • BLM (Binomial Linear Model) - R Package

    BLM is an R package for estimating absolute risk and risk differences from cohort data with a binomial linear or LEXPIT regression model.

  • CARE Model: Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool for African American Women

    The CARE Model is a SAS macro that allows researchers to estimate an African American woman's risk of developing invasive breast cancer

  • CCRAT Gauss Program

    The CCRAT Gauss Program is an executable that allows the user to project absolute colon cancer risk according to NCI’s Colon Cancer Risk Assessment Tool (CCRAT) algorithm in the batch mode.

  • Colon Cancer Risk Assessment Tool - SAS Macro

    CCRAT is a SAS macro that allows the user to project absolute colon cancer risk according to NCI’s Colon Cancer Risk Assessment Tool (CCRAT) algorithm in the batch mode.

  • Interactive Risk Attributable Program (IRAP)

    IRAP is an interactive computer program which calculates both point estimates and confidence intervals for attributable risk, based on regression models.

  • Radiation Risk Assessment Tool (RadRAT)

    Descriptions of an online calculator for estimating the lifetime risk of cancer incidence for members of the U.S. population (or countries with similar cancer incidence rates) from exposure to ionizing radiation for doses below 1 Gy.

  • Thyroid Cancer Risk Assessment Tool (tcrat)

    The R package thyroid implements a risk prediction model developed by NCI researchers to calculate the absolute risk of developing a second primary thyroid cancer (SPTC) in individuals who were diagnosed with a cancer during their childhood.
