Abstract A25: Benign breast disease and subsequent breast cancer risk: The Detroit cohort

Conclusions: Columnar alterations confer increased risk of breast cancer beyond the risks associated with atypical hyperplasia, as does the presence of multiple types of BBD lesions in a single biopsy. These estimates may help improve the current risk assessment models for African American women and highlight the need for additional research regarding the utility of closer surveillance and potentially chemoprevention for reduction of breast cancer in these women.Citation Format: Michele L.
