Cumulative 5-, 10-, and 15-year risks of contralateral breast cancer

Years after diagnosis Overall % (n at risk) BRCA1 mutation % (n at risk) BRCA2 mutation % (n at risk) Age < 40 % (n at risk) Age ≥ 40 % (n at risk)
5 8 (198) 9 (140) 5 (58) 11 (86) 6 (112)
10 19 (98) 21 (75) 15 (23) 32 (39) 10 (59)

Cumulative 5-, 10-, and 15-year risks of contralateral breast cancer in different subgroups of breast cancer patients (BRCA1 mutation carriers vs. BRCA2 mutation carriers and age at primary breast cancer <40 vs. ≥40 years). Only those patients who underwent DNA testing for BRCA1/2 mutation before the diagnosis of contralateral breast cancer were included
