Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in women worldwide and is the leading cause of cancer mortality in females [1]. Early menarche and a later age at menopause have been shown to be associated with an increased risk of breast cancer [2]. Furthermore, a study conducted on postm...
A research team led by the University of Cambridge has developed a new approach to calculate the risk of developing breast cancer.
Breast cancer is the most common invasive cancer in women worldwide and is responsible for more deaths than any other cancer in women. There are multiple established risk factors for breast cancer, primarily involving genetics, radiation exposure, breast

The widely used Western BRCA mutation prediction models underestimated the risk of having a BRCA mutation in Korean breast cancer patients. This study aimed to identify predictive factors for BRCA1/2 mutations and to develop a Korean BRCA risk calculator. The model was constructed by logistic regres...

Since I’ve been diagnosed, I’ve lost 6 friends to cancer. I’ve written about this previously: The National Health Service in the UK has a model of calculating breast cancer survivorship based on a patient’s pathology. It is called Predict and the current version is 2.0. Sloan Kettering...

Population screening for breast cancer (BC) is currently offered in the UK for women aged 50 to 71 with the aim of reducing mortality. There is additional screening within the national programme for women identified as having a very high risk of BC. Ther
high risk is defined as a tumor size >2 cm or any involved axillary node in TNBC cases, or ≥4 axillary nodes in HR-positive disease. In patients who have had NAT, high risk derives from either any residual cancer in TNBC or high-grade residual disease in HR-positive disease (defined ...
