Erratum to: Breast cancer risk models: a comprehensive overview of existing models, validation, and clinical applications (Breast Cancer Res Treat, 10.1007/s10549-017-4247-z)

Abstract

In the paragraphing describing the Tice model, while we do acknowledge that this model was validated in an external cohort from the Mayo Mammography Health Study, an erroneous statement remains in the following paragraph stating ‘‘This model has yet to be validated outside its original study population.’’ As described in the preceding paragraph, this model was validated outside its original study population. Additionally, the creators of the Tice model prefer it to be labeled as the ‘‘Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium (BCSC) model (AKA: Tice model)’’ rather than label it as Tice model (AKA: Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium (BCSC) model) given that BCSC is how the model is labeled for the online tool and iphone application.
