Impact of type of full-field digital image on mammographic density assessment and breast cancer risk estimation: a case-control study.
(2016-09-26)
Background Full-field digital mammography, which is gradually being introduced in most clinical and screening settings, produces two types of images: raw and processed. However, the extent to which mammographic density ...
Infertility and risk of breast cancer in men: a national case-control study in England and Wales.
(BMC, 2022-05-17)
PURPOSE: Breast cancer is uncommon in men and its aetiology is largely unknown, reflecting the limited size of studies thus far conducted. In general, number of children fathered has been found a risk factor inconsistently, ...
Cross-Stratification and Differential Risk by Breast Cancer Index and Recurrence Score in Women with Hormone Receptor-Positive Lymph Node-Negative Early-Stage Breast Cancer.
(2016-10)
Purpose Previous results from the TransATAC study demonstrated that both the Breast Cancer Index (BCI) and the OncotypeDX Recurrence Score (RS) added significant prognostic information to clinicopathologic factors over a ...
Relevance of Spatial Heterogeneity of Immune Infiltration for Predicting Risk of Recurrence After Endocrine Therapy of ER+ Breast Cancer.
(2018-02)
Background Despite increasing evidence supporting the clinical utility of immune infiltration in the estrogen receptor-negative (ER-) subtype, the prognostic value of immune infiltration for ER+ disease is not well ...
Assessment of the contribution of the IHC4+C score to decision making in clinical practice in early breast cancer.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2012-05-22)
BACKGROUND: The immunohistochemical (IHC) 4+C score is a cost-effective prognostic tool that uses clinicopathologic factors and four standard IHC assays: oestrogen receptor (ER), PR, HER2 and Ki67. We assessed its utility ...
Combined effects of endogenous sex hormone levels and mammographic density on postmenopausal breast cancer risk: results from the Breakthrough Generations Study.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2014-04-02)
BACKGROUND: Mammographic density and sex hormone levels are strong risk factors for breast cancer, but it is unclear whether they represent the same aetiological entity or are independent risk factors. METHODS: Within the ...
Timing of pubertal stages and breast cancer risk: the Breakthrough Generations Study.
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2014-02-04)
INTRODUCTION: Breast development and hormonal changes at puberty might affect breast cancer risk, but epidemiological analyses have focussed largely on age at menarche and not at other pubertal stages. METHODS: We investigated ...
Candidate gene-environment interactions in breast cancer.
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2014-10-17)
Gene-environment interactions have the potential to shed light on biological processes leading to disease, identify individuals for whom risk factors are most relevant, and improve the accuracy of epidemiological risk ...
Identification of four novel susceptibility loci for oestrogen receptor negative breast cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2016-04-27)
Common variants in 94 loci have been associated with breast cancer including 15 loci with genome-wide significant associations (P<5 × 10(-8)) with oestrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer and BRCA1-associated breast ...
