I assumed it was just a way of saying different women fall into different reference classes for the purposes of estimating breast cancer risk (e.g. an alcoholic woman with a positive BRCA1 test result and a vitamin D deficiency vs. a teetotaller with no harmful BRCA mutations and no vitamin deficiencies).
Thanks, I think that’s it. She means “medical science has given us more detailed results than just a blanket probability across all female humans. Using various sorts of information, doctors can give each woman a more refined probability estimate.”
