Abstract
To evaluate whether mammographic texture features were associated with second primary contralateral breast cancer (CBC) risk, we created a "texture risk score" using pre-treatment mammograms in a case-control study of 212 women with CBC and 223 controls with unilateral breast cancer. The texture risk score was associated with CBC (odds per adjusted standard deviation = 1.25, 95% CI 1.01-1.56) after adjustment for mammographic percent density and confounders. These results support the potential of texture features for CBC risk assessment of breast cancer survivors.
