Longitudinal study of breast cancer risk markers

Atypical hyperplasia (AH) and lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) are markers for an increased risk of breast cancer, yet outcomes for these diagnoses are not well‐documented. In this study, all breast biopsies performed for radiologic abnormalities over a 10‐year period were reviewed. Patients with AH...

Zusammenfassung:Atypical hyperplasia (AH) and lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) are markers for an increased risk of breast cancer, yet outcomes for these diagnoses are not well‐documented. In this study, all breast biopsies performed for radiologic abnormalities over a 10‐year period were reviewed. Patients with AH or LCIS were followed for an additional 10 years to assess subsequent rates of cancer diagnosis. Long‐term follow‐up showed that 25 (7.8%) patients with AH and 5 patients with LCIS (5.7%) developed breast cancer over the follow‐up period, a lower rate of breast cancer development than predicted by risk models.
