Breast cancer incidence among women with a family history of breast cancer by relative's age at diagnosis
Original Article See editorial on pages 000–000, this issue. Abstract Background Women with a first-degree family history of breast cancer are often advised to begin screening when they are 10 years younger than the age at which their relative was diagnosed. Evidence is lacking to determine how much earlier they should begin.

Research Article Dongyu Zhang, Linn Abraham, Joshua Demb, Diana L Miglioretti, Shailesh Advani, Brian L. Sprague, Louise M. Henderson, Tracy Onega, Karen J. Wernli, Louise C Walter, Karla Kerlikowske, John T. Schousboe, Ellen S O'Meara and Dejana Braithwaite DOI: 10.1158/1055-9965.EPI-21-0152 Abstract Background: Previous reports suggested risk of death and breast cancer varied by comorbidity and age in older women undergoing mammography. However, impacts of functional limitations remain unclear.
Variability in Interpretive Performance at Screening Mammography and Radiologists’ Characteristics Associated with Accuracy1
Introduction Mammography is the only breast cancer screening test shown in clinical trials to be associated with reduced breast cancer mortality (1,2). However, it is not a perfect test. As in other areas of medicine, variability among radiologists in the interpretive accuracy of mammograms is extensive (3–9).
Cumulative Risk Distribution for Interval Invasive Second Breast Cancers After Negative Surveillance Mammography
The aim of the current study was to characterize the risk of interval invasive second breast cancers within 5 years of primary breast cancer treatment. We examined 65,084 surveillance mammograms from 18,366 women with a primary breast cancer diagnosis of unilateral ductal carcinoma in situ or stage I to III invasive breast carcinoma performed from 1996 to 2012 in the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium.
