†Analyses were adjusted for ovarian radiation dose, and number of cycles of AA chemotherapy.

*

History of breast and/or ovarian cancer in a first or second degree relative.

Women who had an unknown breast radiation dose (n = 1 patient; 7 control subjects) or an unknown ovarian dose (n = 4 control subjects) were assigned the median dose in controls (2300 cGy and 44.5 cGy, respectively) in these analyses.

§

Interaction OR (multiplicative scale): breast dose of 5 Gy or more and 1st or 2nd degree family history, 0.14 (95% CI, 0.03-0.81); breast dose on a continuous scale and 1st or 2nd degree family history, 0.93 (95% CI, 0.89-0.99); breast dose on a continuous scale and 1st degree family history (14 patients, 15 control subjects), 0.91 (95% CI, 0.85-0.98). Interaction contrast ratio (ICR; additive RR scale): breast dose of 5 Gy or more and 1st or 2nd degree family history, -6.8 (95% CI, -52.4-+7.8); modified breast dose on a continuous scale and 1st or 2nd degree family history, -0.22 (95% CI, -1.1-+0.27); modified breast dose on a continuous scale and 1st degree family history, -0.33 (95% CI, not estimated to +.03).
