β¦ Synopsis
Background. Women with proliferative breast disease (PD) have been observed to have an increased risk of breast cancer. The authors evaluated the effect of PD on breast cancer risk in a case-control study among participants of the Breast Cancer Detection Demonstration Project (BCDDP).
Methods. More than 280,000 women were screened in the BCDDP at 29 centers. Study subjects were selected from BCDDP participants who underwent biopsy that revealed benign breast tissue. There were five BCDDP centers for which histologic slides were available on more than 85% of the benign biopsy specimens. Case patients for this study were the 95 women from these five centers who had breast cancer develop during follow-up. Two matched control patients who did not have breast

Breast cancer risk assessment in women following a benign breast biopsy is a promising area with regard to intermediate endpoint determination, and has been particularly fostered by the consensus agreement concerning the risk attributed to specific diagnoses [l]. Several recent studies have largely
## Abstract Estrogen is associated with many epidemiologic risk factors for invasive breast cancer. Cells that express estrogen receptors (ERs) in epithelial hyperplasia lacking atypia (EHLA) may influence breast cancer progression. We conducted a nested caseβcontrol study of 268 women with biopsyβ
