Fig 1.
Model results for lifetime risk of breast cancer for a 45-year-old woman diagnosed with a hormone receptor–positive breast cancer carrying 30% mortality risk treated with lumpectomy and tamoxifen (dark blue triangles), lumpectomy without tamoxifen (light blue circles), mastectomy with tamoxifen (gold diamonds), and mastectomy without tamoxifen (dark gold squares). Lifetime risk values, which lie in the blue shaded area, represent ages at which this patient would meet the 20% threshold for magnetic resonance imaging screening.

Fig 2.
Model results for screening recommendations for women who receive breast-conserving surgery using the 20% screening threshold. Recommendations are given for women as a function of age at diagnosis, type of cancer (hormone receptor [HR] positive or negative), mortality risk from primary cancer, and treatment with or without tamoxifen. Red boxes indicate women who never meet the screening threshold during their lifetime. Blue boxes indicate women who meet this threshold from the year after diagnosis to age 66. Beige boxes indicate that women meet this threshold during their lifetime but that the start date (shown in box) for screening is later than the year after diagnosis. Gold boxes indicate women who meet the threshold the year after diagnosis but fall below the screening threshold before age 66 (until age shown in box).
