BOADICEA model: updates to the BRCA2 breast cancer risks for ages 60 years and older

Abstract

Breast cancer risks in older BRCA2 pathogenic variant carriers are understudied. Recent studies show a marked decline in the relative risk at older ages. We used data from two large studies to update the breast cancer risks in the BOADICEA model for BRCA2 carriers 60 years and older.
