The impact of patient age on breast cancer risk prediction models
ConclusionsMore patients have an estimated lifetime risk of breast cancer >20% and qualify for MRI screening with the Tyrer‐Cuzick model. All models predict an increased 5‐year risk with age, which could impact chemoprevention recommendations. To maximize access to genetic testing, the Myriad model and NCCN guidelines should be used.

Evaluation of cosmetic outcome following breast ‐conserving therapy in trials: panel versus digitalized analysis and the role of PROMs
Abstract Cosmetic outcome is an important quality of life‐related end point following breast‐conserving therapy (BCT). To advise on a gold standard, we compare cosmetic outcome evaluated by panel and an objective evaluation (BCCT.core software). Second, patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) are compared to cosmetic outcome evaluation by panel and BCCT.core. Sixty‐eight breast cancer patients were included following BCT between 2007 and 2012. Two independent 6‐member panels and two observers using the BCCT.core evaluated cosmetic outcome. First, reproducibility, repeatability, and relatedness of panel and BCCT...

Does response to neo ‐adjuvant chemotherapy impact breast reconstruction?
Abstract Neo‐adjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is administered in breast cancer treatment for downstaging of disease. Here, we determined the impact of response to NAC on breast reconstruction uptake. A prospective NAC and mastectomy database with or without reconstruction were reviewed with IRB approval. Univariable analyses were conducted using Kruskal‐Wallis or Fisher's exact tests. Multivariable logistic regression was used to adjust for potential confounders. We identified 271 patients with unilateral breast cancer receiving NAC and either unilateral or bilateral mastectomy from 9/2013 to 5/2016. Seventy patients (25.8%...
