Accurate identification of women at high risk of developing breast cancer has important uses in both research and clinical settings. Identification of highrisk groups to study chemopreventive agents requires a reliable and valid risk projection model (/). Targeting chemopreventive agents to those at highest risk decreases the required sample size for clinical trials and improves the risk/benefit ratio for participants (2). Clinical counseling is also facilitated by more specific risk information, because many women overestimate their actual risk of breast cancer (3, 4).Two model-based approaches to individualized risk prediction have been offered for use in research and clinical applications. The first model was developed by Gail et al.(5)(Gail model) using case and control subjects from the Breast Cancer Detection Demonstration Project (BCDDP). The second model, by Claus et al.(6)(Claus model), was developed from subjects in the Cancer and Steroid Hormone (CASH) Study. Risk estimation from the Gail model is based on indicators of endogenous estrogen exposure, family history, and clinical risk (5, 7, 8). The Claus model uses genetic modeling to tabulate risk on the basis of the number and age at diagnosis of first-and second-degree relatives previously diagnosed with breast cancer. These predictions are based on
