    Abstract In Nordic countries and across Europe, breast cancer screening participation is high. However, a significant number of breast cancer cases are still diagnosed due to symptoms between screening rounds, termed "interval cancers". Radiologists use the interval cancer proportion as a proxy for the screening false negative rate (ie, 1-sensitivity). Our objective is to enhance our understanding of interval cancers by applying continuous tumour growth models to data from a study involving incident invasive breast cancer cases. Building upon previous findings regarding stationary distributions of tumour size and growth rate distributions in non-screened populations, we develop an analytical expression for the proportion of interval breast cancer cases among regularly screened women. Our approach avoids relying on estimated background cancer rates. We make specific parametric assumptions concerning tumour growth and detection processes (screening or symptoms), but our framework easily accommodates alternative assumptions. We also show how our developed analytical expression for the proportion of interval breast cancers within a screened population can be incorporated into an approach for fitting tumour growth models to incident case data. We fit a model on 3493 cases diagnosed in Sweden between 2001 and 2008. Our methodology allows us to estimate the distribution of tumour sizes at the most recent screening for interval cancers. Importantly, we find that our model-based expected incidence of interval breast cancers aligns closely with observed patterns in our study and in a large Nordic screening cohort. Finally, we evaluate the association between screening interval length and the interval cancer proportion. Our analytical expression represents a useful tool for gaining insights into the performance of population-based breast cancer screening programs.

    Abstract Background: Researchers have suggested that longitudinal trajectories of mammographic breast density (MD) can be used to understand changes in breast cancer (BC) risk over a woman's lifetime. Some have suggested, based on biological arguments, that the cumulative trajectory of MD encapsulates the risk of BC across time. Others have tried to connect changes in MD to the risk of BC.
    Methods: To summarize the MD-BC association, we jointly model longitudinal trajectories of MD and time to diagnosis using data from a large ([Formula: see text]) mammography cohort of Swedish women aged 40-80 years. Five hundred eighteen women were diagnosed with BC during follow-up. We fitted three joint models (JMs) with different association structures; Cumulative, current value and slope, and current value association structures.
    Results: All models showed evidence of an association between MD trajectory and BC risk ([Formula: see text] for current value of MD, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for current value and slope of MD respectively, and [Formula: see text] for cumulative value of MD). Models with cumulative association structure and with current value and slope association structure had better goodness of fit than a model based only on current value. The JM with current value and slope structure suggested that a decrease in MD may be associated with an increased (instantaneous) BC risk. It is possible that this is because of increased screening sensitivity rather than being related to biology.
    Conclusion: We argue that a JM with a cumulative association structure may be the most appropriate/biologically relevant model in this context.

    Abstract Mammography screening programs are aimed at reducing mortality due to breast cancer by detecting tumors at an early stage. There is currently interest in moving away from the age-based screening programs, and toward personalized screening based on individual risk factors. To accomplish this, risk prediction models for breast cancer are needed to determine who should be screened, and when. We develop a novel approach using a (random effects) continuous growth model, which we apply to a large population-based, Swedish screening cohort. Unlike existing breast cancer prediction models, this approach explicitly incorporates each woman's individual screening visits in the prediction. It jointly models invasive breast cancer tumor onset, tumor growth rate, symptomatic detection rate, and screening sensitivity. In addition to predicting the overall risk of invasive breast cancer, this model can make separate predictions regarding specific tumor sizes, and the mode of detection (eg, detected at screening, or through symptoms between screenings). It can also predict how these risks change depending on whether or not a woman will attend her next screening. In our study, we predict, given a future diagnosis, that the probability of having a tumor less than (as opposed to greater than) 10-mm diameter, at detection, will be, on average, 2.6 times higher if a woman in the cohort attends their next screening. This indicates that the model can be used to evaluate the short-term benefit of screening attendance, at an individual level.

    Abstract Background: Many studies have examined patient-related factors affecting adjuvant hormone therapy adherence in breast cancer patients. Our study aimed to examine associations of family-related factors with adjuvant hormone therapy discontinuation and breast cancer-specific mortality.
    Methods: By cross-linking seven Swedish health registers, we performed a cohort study including all breast cancer patients who initiated adjuvant hormone therapy during 2006-2019 in Sweden (N = 10,701). A group-based multi-trajectory model was used to identify familial adversity groups based on three dimensions: material deprivation, negative family dynamics, and loss or threat of loss. Cox proportional hazard models were used to investigate associations of familial adversity with hormone therapy discontinuation and breast cancer-specific mortality.
    Results: We identified five distinctive familial adversity groups among the cohort participants. Compared to women with low familial adversity, higher risks to discontinue adjuvant hormone therapy were observed among women with material deprivation (hazard ratio (HR), 1.31; 95% CI, 1.20-1.43), negative family dynamics (HR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.06-1.28), loss or threat to loss (HR, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.00-1.32), or high familial adversity (HR, 1.53; 95% CI, 1.40-1.68). Furthermore, women with material deprivation (HR, 1.37; 95% CI, 1.05-1.79), negative family dynamics (HR, 1.41; 95% CI, 1.01-1.97), or high adversity (HR, 1.67; 95% CI, 1.26-2.23) were at higher risks of dying from breast cancer.
    Conclusion: Familial adversity is associated with a higher risk of adjuvant hormone therapy discontinuation and breast cancer-specific mortality. Family-related factors identified in our study may help identify high-risk patients for interventions to prevent treatment discontinuation and subsequently improve breast cancer outcomes.

    Abstract We recently described a joint model of breast cancer tumor size and number of affected lymph nodes, which conditions on screening history, mammographic density, and mode of detection, and can be used to infer growth rates, time to symptomatic detection, screening sensitivity, and rates of lymph node spread. The model of lymph node spread can be estimated in isolation from measurements of tumor volume and number of affected lymph nodes, giving inference identical to the joint model. Here, we extend our model to include covariate effects. We also derive theoretical results in order to study the role of screening on lymph node metastases at diagnosis. We analyze the association between hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and breast cancer lymph node spread, using data from a case‐control study designed specifically to study the effects of HRT on breast cancer. Using our method, we estimate that women using HRT at time of diagnosis have a 36% lower rate of lymph node spread than nonusers (95% confidence interval [CI] =(8%,58%)). This can be contrasted with the effect of HRT on the tumor growth rate, estimated here to be 15% slower in HRT users (95% CI = (−34%,+7%)). For screen‐detected cancers, we illustrate how lead time can relate to lymph node spread; and using symptomatic cancers, we illustrate the potential consequences of false negative screens in terms of lymph node spread.

    Abstract Understanding the detectability of breast cancer using mammography is important when considering nation-wide screening programmes. Although the role of imaging settings on image quality has been studied extensively, their role in detectability of cancer at a population level is less well studied. We wish to quantify the association between mammographic screening sensitivity and various imaging parameters. Using a novel approach applied to a population-based breast cancer screening cohort, we specifically focus on sensitivity as defined in the classical diagnostic testing literature, as opposed to the screen-detected cancer rate, which is often used as a measure of sensitivity for monitoring and evaluating breast cancer screening. We use a natural history approach to model the presence and size of latent tumors at risk of detection at mammography screening, and the screening sensitivity is modeled as a logistic function of tumor size. With this approach we study the influence of compressed breast thickness, x-ray exposure, and compression pressure, in addition to (percent) breast density, on the screening test sensitivity. When adjusting for all screening parameters in addition to latent tumor size, we find that percent breast density and compressed breast thickness are statistically significant factors for the detectability of breast cancer. A change in breast density from 6.6 to 33.5% (the inter-quartile range) reduced the odds of detection by 61% (95% CI 48-71). Similarly, a change in compressed breast thickness from 46 to 66 mm reduced the odds by 42% (95% CI 21-57). The true sensitivity of mammography, defined as the probability that an examination leads to a positive result if a tumour is present in the breast, is associated with compressed breast thickness after accounting for mammographic density and tumour size. This can be used to guide studies of setups aimed at improving lesion detection. Compressed breast thickness-in addition to breast density-should be considered when assigning complementary screening modalities and personalized screening intervals.

    Abstract A link has been proposed between the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and the risk of breast cancer. There is, however, insufficient data regarding the subtype and stage of breast cancer, and few studies have assessed the interaction between the use of NSAIDs and breast density or previous breast disorders. There is also a lack of data from population-based studies. We first conducted a nested case-control study within the general female population of Sweden, including 56,480 women with newly diagnosed breast cancer during 2006-2015 and five breast cancer-free women per case as controls, to assess the association of NSAID use with the risk of incident breast cancer, focusing on subtype and stage of breast cancer as well as the interaction between NSAID use and previous breast disorders. We then used the Karolinska Mammography Project for Risk Prediction of Breast Cancer (Karma) cohort to assess the interaction between NSAID use and breast density in relation to the risk of breast cancer. Conditional logistic regression was used to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) and a 95% confidence interval (CI) was used for breast cancer in relation to the use of aspirin and non-aspirin NSAIDs. In the nested case-control study of the general population, exclusive use of aspirin was not associated with the risk of breast cancer, whereas exclusive use of non-aspirin NSAIDs was associated with a modestly higher risk of stage 0-2 breast cancer (HR: 1.05; 95% CI: 1.02-1.08) but a lower risk of stage 3-4 breast cancer (HR 0.80; 95% CI: 0.73-0.88). There was also a statistically significant interaction between the exclusive use of NSAIDs and previous breast disorders (

    Abstract Importance: A large proportion of patients with breast cancer concomitantly use adjuvant hormone therapy and cardiovascular therapy.
    Objective: To examine the relative risk of discontinuing cardiovascular therapy during the periods before and after discontinuation of adjuvant hormone therapy.
    Design, setting, and participants: This population-based cohort study included all women aged 40 to 74 years in Stockholm, Sweden, who were diagnosed with breast cancer and concomitantly using adjuvant hormone therapy and cardiovascular therapy. Patients were enrolled from July 1, 2005, to August 31, 2020, with a median follow-up of 7.2 years. Data were analyzed from November 3, 2021, to May 12, 2022.
    Exposure: Discontinuation of adjuvant hormone therapy.
    Main outcomes and measures: The main outcome was discontinuation of cardiovascular therapy (cardiovascular drugs, statins, or aspirin) within 1 year before and after discontinuation of adjuvant hormone therapy. Incidence rate ratios with 95% CIs were estimated using Poisson regression. Furthermore, hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% CIs for cause-specific mortality were estimated using Cox proportional hazards regression models, comparing those who discontinued and continued adjuvant hormone therapy.
    Results: A total of 5493 patients with breast cancer who concomitantly used cardiovascular therapy were identified; 1811 who discontinued adjuvant hormone therapy were individually matched to 1 patient each who continued therapy by year of breast cancer diagnosis, age at diagnosis, and use of the same cardiovascular therapy. Most patients (4070 [74.1%]) were aged 60 years or older at diagnosis. At the time when patients discontinued adjuvant hormone therapy, 248 (12.2%) concomitantly discontinued their cardiovascular therapy. During follow-up, a higher discontinuation rate of cardiovascular therapy was also observed among those who discontinued adjuvant hormone therapy. Consistently, adjuvant hormone therapy discontinuation was associated with an increased risk of death not only due to breast cancer (HR, 1.43; 95 CI%, 1.01-2.01) but also cardiovascular disease (HR, 1.79; 95 CI%, 1.15-2.81). Stratifying the analyses on baseline type of adjuvant hormone therapy yielded consistent results.
    Conclusions and relevance: In this cohort study of data from population-based registers in Sweden, patients who discontinued adjuvant hormone therapy were also more likely to discontinue cardiovascular therapy, especially at the time when they discontinued adjuvant hormone therapy. These findings suggest that clinicians should shift from single- to multiple-disease focus to prevent discontinuation of therapies for other diseases among patients with breast cancer.

    Abstract Background: Image-derived artificial intelligence (AI) risk models have shown promise in identifying high-risk women in the short term. The long-term performance of image-derived risk models expanded with clinical factors has not been investigated.
    Methods: We performed a case-cohort study of 8110 women aged 40-74 randomly selected from a Swedish mammography screening cohort initiated in 2010 together with 1661 incident BCs diagnosed before January 2022. The imaging-only AI risk model extracted mammographic features and age at screening. Additional lifestyle/familial risk factors were incorporated into the lifestyle/familial-expanded AI model. Absolute risks were calculated using the two models and the clinical Tyrer-Cuzick v8 model. Age-adjusted model performances were compared across the 10-year follow-up.
    Results: The AUCs of the lifestyle/familial-expanded AI risk model ranged from 0.75 (95%CI: 0.70-0.80) to 0.68 (95%CI: 0.66-0.69) 1-10 years after study entry. Corresponding AUCs were 0.72 (95%CI: 0.66-0.78) to 0.65 (95%CI: 0.63-0.66) for the imaging-only model and 0.62 (95%CI: 0.55-0.68) to 0.60 (95%CI: 0.58-0.61) for Tyrer-Cuzick v8. The increased performances were observed in multiple risk subgroups and cancer subtypes. Among the 5% of women at highest risk, the PPV was 5.8% using the lifestyle/familial-expanded model compared with 5.3% using the imaging-only model,
    Conclusions: The lifestyle/familial-expanded AI risk model showed higher performance for both long-term and short-term risk assessment compared with imaging-only and Tyrer-Cuzick models.

    Abstract Importance: Breast cancer (BC), the most prevalent cancer among women globally, is a heterogeneous disease, with prognosis differing by estrogen receptor (ER) status. Having a family history of BC increases the risk of BC; however, it is unclear whether family history is associated with the prognosis of overall and ER-specific BC.
    Objective: To assess whether a family history of BC is associated with the prognosis of overall and ER-specific BC.
    Design, setting, and participants: This cohort study was based on data from several national registers in Sweden. All female residents of Stockholm who were born after 1932; had their first BC diagnosis between January 1, 1991, and December 31, 2019; and had at least 1 identified female first-degree relative (FDR) were included. Women who were diagnosed with other types of cancer before their BC diagnosis, were older than 75 years at diagnosis, or had distant metastasis at diagnosis were excluded. A total of 28 649 women were included. Data were analyzed from January 10, 2022, to December 20, 2022.
    Exposures: Family history of BC, defined as 1 or more female FDRs diagnosed with BC.
    Main outcomes and measures: Patients were followed up until BC-specific death, censoring, or end of follow-up on December 31, 2019. The role of family history in BC-specific mortality was investigated using flexible parametric survival models among the full cohort, ER-positive subgroup, and ER-negative subgroup, adjusting for demographic characteristics, tumor characteristics, and treatments received.
    Results: Among 28 649 patients, the mean (SD) age at BC diagnosis was 55.7 (10.4) years; 19 545 (68.2%) had ER-positive BC, and 4078 (14.2%) had ER-negative BC. Overall, 5081 patients (17.7%) had at least 1 female FDR diagnosed with BC, while 384 (1.3%) had a family history of early-onset BC (FDR diagnosed before age 40 years). During the follow-up period (median [IQR], 8.7 [4.1-15.1] years), 2748 patients (9.6%) died of BC. Multivariable analyses revealed that having a family history of BC was associated with a lower risk of BC-specific death among the full cohort (hazard ratio [HR], 0.78; 95% CI, 0.65-0.95) and the ER-negative subgroup (HR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.40-0.82) in the first 5 years, after which no association was observed. However, having an early-onset family history was associated with a higher risk of BC-specific death (HR, 1.41; 95% CI, 1.03-2.34).
    Conclusions and relevance: In this study, patients with a family history of BC did not necessarily have a worse prognosis. Those with ER-negative status and a family history of BC had more favorable outcomes in the first 5 years after diagnosis, possibly due to enhanced motivation to receive and adhere to treatment. However, patients with a family history of early-onset BC had worse survival, suggesting that genetic testing of newly diagnosed patients with early-onset family history may provide useful information to aid treatment and future research.
