New Research
Just published in Journal of Clinical Oncology, a case-cohort study, Long-Term Performance of an Image-Based Short-Term Risk Model for Breast Cancer. Conducted at Karolinska Institutet, the study showed an image-based risk model developed to predict short-term breast cancer risk can also be used to assess long-term risk for identifying women who may benefit from risk-reducing strategies and supplemental screening. The image-based model showed better accuracy in predicting 10-year risk than the Tyrer-Cuzick v8 model, a traditional lifestyle/familial-based risk model.
