July 20, 2017 – The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force posted today a final 

research plan on medication use for the risk reduction of primary breast 

cancer in women. The draft research plan for this topic was posted for public 

comment from 3/23/17 to 4/16/17. The Task Force reviewed all of the comments 

that were submitted and took them into consideration as it finalized the 

research plan. To view the final research plan, please

Figure 1 is a flow diagram of selection of candidates for medications to reduce the risk for primary breast cancer. Women without preexisting breast cancer are screened and sorted into either appropriate or inappropriate candidates for therapy. Women who are appropriate candidates for therapy receive medications to reduce the risk for primary breast cancer. Women may experience adverse effects due to these medications. Women who are treated with these medications may have reduced incidence of invasive or noninvasive breast cancer, which may lead to improved breast cancer-related mortality and all-cause mortality.
