Projecting individualized absolute invasive breast cancer risk in Asian and Pacific Islander American women.
BACKGROUND The Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool (BCRAT) of the National Cancer Institute is widely used for estimating absolute risk of invasive breast cancer. However, the absolute risk estimates for Asian and Pacific Islander American (APA) women are based on data from white women. We developed a model for projecting absolute invasive breast cancer risk in APA women and compared its project...

متن کاملPlasma C-peptide, mammographic breast density, and risk of invasive breast cancer.
BACKGROUND Insulin may promote breast cancer directly by stimulating the insulin receptor or indirectly by increasing the plasma concentration of active sex hormones. The association between insulin and breast density, a strong breast cancer risk factor, has not been thoroughly studied. We measured associations between c-peptide (a molar marker of insulin secretion), breast cancer risk, and bre...
متن کاملMammographic breast density and subsequent risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal women according to tumor characteristics.
BACKGROUND Few studies that investigated the associations between breast density and subsequent breast cancer according to tumor characteristics have produced inconclusive findings. We aimed to determine whether the associations between breast density and subsequent breast cancer varied by tumor characteristics. METHODS We included 1042 postmenopausal women diagnosed with breast cancer betwee...
