Competing Risks for a Diagnosis of Invasive Breast Cancer—Reply

In Reply Syn expresses concern that our analysis of the long-term accuracy of breast cancer risk assessment in a cohort of women who underwent breast cancer screening could be inadequate because some women could have undergone risk-reducing surgery or preventive therapy. Although we do not have data to directly assess this issue, we believe that our findings are robust; this is an average-risk cohort, and very few women are likely to have received these interventions. This view is supported by 4 observations.
