Erratum
"Projecting individualized absolute invasive breast cancer risk
in African American women" by Gail et al. [J Natl Cancer Inst
2007;99(23):1782–1792]. Some of the age-specific rates
for invasive breast cancer,
h1(
t), were given on page 1786 and
in a footnote to Table 4 as 176.2, 212.4, 226.2, 267.4, 286.8,
298.3, 289.5, and 265.3 per 10
5 women-years. These rates should
have been, respectively, 179.7, 216.6, 230.7, 272.7, 292.5,
304.2, 295.2, and 270.6. Other rates on page 1786 and in the
footnote to Table 4 were correct. The correct rates were used
in all the calculations in the paper and in the revised National
Cancer Institute Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool. Thus, none
of the results in the paper are changed, but this erratum corrects
the documentation.
