Atypical ductal hyperplasia: What is the current risk for developing breast cancer?
A partir de données de mammographies réalisées sur 955 331 femmes, cette étude de cohorte évalue l'association entre une hyperplasie canalaire atypique (1 727 cas) et le risque cumulé sur 10 ans de développer un cancer du sein invasif, en prenant en compte la technique de biopsie utilisée (aiguille fine ou exérèse)
Since the 1985 report by Dupont and Page,1 women with atypical hyperplasia have been found to have an increased risk for developing breast cancer. Recent reports with long-term follow-up have shown the absolute risk for developing breast cancer to be within the range of 1% to 2% per year.2 Most of these studies were performed in cohorts starting in the 1960s, before the widespread use of screening mammograms and core biopsies. In the modern era, are we overestimating the risk of women with atypical hyperplasia for developing breast cancer?
