Percutaneous Biopsy Era: Benign Breast Disease Ups Cancer Risk

JAMA Network

About The Study: In this study including 4,819 women with benign breast disease (BBD) in the percutaneous biopsy era, overall risk of breast cancer was increased versus the general population (ductal carcinoma in situ and invasive cancer combined), similar to that in historical BBD cohorts. Development and validation of pathologic classifications including both BBD severity and multiplicity may enable improved breast cancer risk stratification.
