Prediction of contralateral breast cancer: external validation of risk calculators in 20 international cohortsContralateral breast cancerRisk predictionValidationClinical decision-makingBackground Three tools are currently available to predict the risk of contralateral breast cancer (CBC). We aimed to compare ...
We sought to estimate the annual risk and 25-year cumulative risk of contralateral breast cancer among women with stage 0–III unilateral breast cancer. We identified 812,851 women with unilateral breast cancer diagnosed between 1990 and 2015 in the SEER
Prediction of contralateral breast cancer (CBC) risk is challenging due to moderate performances of the known risk factors. We aimed to improve our previous risk prediction model (PredictCBC) by updated follow-up and including additional risk factors. We
Cancer risk prediction is the cornerstone of precision cancer control, and breast cancer risk prediction stands out as a prototype. Risk calculators based on clinical, biological, behavioral, and epidemiologic factors are available for many cancers, but breast cancer has the most established history an...
Although ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a non-obligate precursor to ipsilateral invasive breast cancer (iIBC), most DCIS lesions remain indolent. Hence, overdiagnosis and overtreatment of DCIS is a major concern. There is an urgent need for prognosti
Other factors that must be considered include past medical history, performance status, menopausal status and family history of breast/ovarian cancer. The decision to advise adjuvant treatment is not simple. A number of online benefit–risk calculators have been developed to help determine appropriate ...
In breast cancer, a malignant (cancerous) tumour begins to grow abnormally and out of control, which may also invade other tissues.
Once upon a while ago, computers were considered overgrown calculators. If you wanted to mess with numbers, math, and calculations, you counted on a computer. These days, computers reach far beyond the business of numerals. Microsoft Wor... P Weverka - John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 被引量: 2...

Histological type of lobular cancer was identified as one of the risk factors for the development of contralateral breast cancer (OR 5.564, 95% CI: 3.219–9.620) and synchronous bilateral breast cancer (OR 2.561, 95% CI: 1.182–5.550). Bilateral breast cancer had significantly shorter progression...
