Addition of a polygenic risk score, mammographic density, and endogenous hormones to existing breast cancer risk prediction models: A nested case–control study

Abstract: BackgroundNo prior study to our knowledge has examined the joint contribution of a polygenic risk score (PRS), mammographic density (MD), and postmenopausal endogenous hormone levels—all well-confirmed risk factors for invasive breast cancer—to existing breast cancer risk prediction models.Methods and findingsWe conducted a nested case–control study within the prospective Nurses’ Health Study and Nurses’ Health Study II including 4,006 cases and 7,874 controls ages 34–70 years up to 1 June 2010. We added a bre… Show more

“…The precision of the multivariable model increased when we added two statistically significant interaction terms associated with women’s age: menopause and mammographic density. Such interactions have previously been observed, and we detected an increase of AUC-ROC from 0.74 (95% CI: 0.71–0.77) to 0.80 (95% CI: 0.77–0.83) (Table 2 ), a rise that was statistically significant and offered a final value slightly higher than those of other similar multivariable studies [ 39 ].…”

“…Of note, several studies in European populations with higher than Slovenian breast cancer incidence have shown that both factors independently increase the sensitivity of IBIS. [27][28][29][30] Due to technical limitations both mammographic density and PRS are not routinely included in S-IBIS calculations throughout Slovenia, therefore currently no data on value of mammographic density and PRS in Slovenian population is available. Data are available for selected breast centres and are yet to be analysed at the time writing this article.…”
