Sarah Harding: Early breast cancer study in singer’s memory begins

Harding’s consultant, Dr Sacha Howell, who is leading the study, said: “Sarah spoke to me many times about breast cancer research and was really keen for more to be done to find out why young women are being diagnosed without any other family members having been affected by the disease.” Source link

AI outperforms standard risk model for predicting breast cancer: Study – ET HealthWorld

AI outperforms standard risk model for predicting breast cancer: Study – ET HealthWorld

New Delhi: Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms outperformed the standard clinical risk model for predicting the five-year risk for breast cancer, according to a large study of thousands of mammograms. A woman’s risk of breast cancer is typically calculated using clinical models such as the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium (BCSC) risk model. This model uses self-reported … Read more

Deep learning model estimating breast density could help with predicting cancer risk – ET HealthWorld

New Delhi: Researchers have developed a new deep-learning model that can estimate breast density, which could be useful for cancer risk prediction. The researchers from the University of Manchester, UK, said that the automatic feature extraction from the training data enabled by the deep learning-based approach makes it appealing for breast density estimations. Breast density … Read more
