Changes in breast cancer risk associated with benign breast disease from 1967 to 2013.

Background: Benign breast disease (BBD) increases breast cancer (BC) risk progressively for women diagnosed with nonproliferative change, proliferative disease without atypia (PDWA), and atypical hyperplasia (AH). Leveraging data from 18 704 women in the Mayo BBD Cohort (1967-2013), we evaluated temporal trends in BBD diagnoses and how they have influenced associated BC risk over 4 decades.

Methods: BC risk trends associated with BBD were evaluated using standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) and age-period-cohort modeling across 4 eras-premammogram (1967-1981), precore needle biopsy (CNB) (1982-1992), transition to CNB (1993-2001), and CNB era (2002-2013).

Early Compliance with Commission on Cancer Operative Standards for Breast Cancer Surgery.

Background: Efforts to define the key technical elements of breast cancer surgery, the foundation of curative treatment, have been recognized recently by the Commission on Cancer (CoC). Effective 1 January 2023, surgeon documentation in synoptic format of specific technical elements of axillary surgery for breast cancer became a CoC accreditation requirement (standards 5.3 and 5.

Polygenic risk scores stratify breast cancer risk among women with benign breast disease.

Purpose: Most breast biopsies are diagnosed as benign breast disease (BBD), with 1.5- to fourfold increased breast cancer (BC) risk. Apart from pathologic diagnoses of atypical hyperplasia, few factors aid in BC risk assessment of these patients.

Immediate Breast Reconstruction Outcomes in Patients with Prior Mantle and Whole Breast Irradiation.

Background: Limited studies have detailed the risk of mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction among women who previously received mantle field radiation.

Methods: A single institution retrospective review from 2010 to 2020 of patients previously treated with mantle field radiation (MF-RT) and subsequent mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction was performed. Patients with prior whole breast irradiation (WBI) were also included as a reference group.
