#New breast cancer risk prediction model more accurate than current model A new breast cancer risk prediction model combining histologic features of biopsied breast tissue from women with benign breast disease
the Breast cancer Risk Assessment Tool (BCRAT), are published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.""Physicians routinely perform biopsies to evaluate concerning findings in the breast,
while benign, could help predict which women were increased at risk of developing breast cancer later.""Our new model more accurately classifies a woman's breast cancer risk after a benign biopsy than the BCRAT,
"Dr. Degnim says. Developed by the National Cancer Institute and the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project, BCRAT is currently the most commonly used model for predicting breast cancer risk in women with BBD.
To test the new model, Dr. Degnim and her colleagues studied a cohort of approximately 10,000 women who had benign breast biopsies at Mayo Clinic
and combined these estimates with a relative risk model derived from 377 patients who later developed breast cancer
and 728 matched controls) and compared the risk predictions from the new model with those from the BCRAT.
"Since women with benign breast disease are at higher risk for breast cancer, optimal early detection is extremely important,
"Ideally, women at increased risk for breast cancer should be identified so that we can offer appropriate surveillance and prevention strategies.
Unfortunately, the BCRAT risk prediction model does not provide accurate estimates of risk for these women at the individual level
