Actress Olivia Munn has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of Luminal B breast cancer, which she disclosed via Instagram. Despite testing negative for genes associated with increased risk, a risk assessment score prompted a biopsy leading to her diagnosis. Munn's revelation came after a normal mammogram and genetic testing failed to detect the cancer, highlighting the importance of comprehensive risk assessments. She has urged followers to be proactive about their health, emphasizing early detection. Munn's diagnosis was made in February 2023, after which she underwent a double mastectomy. The actress's health journey has sparked discussions about breast cancer awareness and the effectiveness of current screening methods.
