Genetic and Nongenetic Risk Factors for Breast Cancer Risk Estimation
In this case-control study, a breast cancer risk estimation model was developed that combines genetic and nongenetic factors and refines a previous model that includes epidemiologic risk factors. Further development and validation of this model are necessary to advance breast cancer risk assessment in sub-Saharan Africa.
