Our model performs equally well cross race and think groups including Asian women. It predicts DCIS and invasive breast cancer equally well.
A risk prediction model generated from both current and prior mammograms showed robust performance across diverse racial and ethnic populations. ja.ma/3HnuTgm

Our model including the images from prior screening mammograms validates with robust and superior performance to using only one mammogram. This performs across a cross range of race and ethnic groups including Asian women. Wonderful to complete this work with data umbi

Reduced smoking = fewer cancer deaths. From 1970–2022, reductions in smoking accounted for 51.4% of of the drop in overall lung cancer mortality. Declines in cancer deaths were greater in men (60.1%) than in women (42.7%). acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wi… @OncoAlert @FarhadIslami

Development and Validation of Dynamic 5-Year Breast Cancer Risk Model Using Repeated Mammograms Out on JCO Clinical Cancer Informatics Study developed and validated a dynamic #BreastCancer (BC) risk prediction model that incorporates multiple years of previous mammogram images to improve 5-year risk estimates. The model was trained on a cohort of 10,099 cancer-free women and validated on an external cohort of 18,360 women. The dynamic model significantly outperformed models using only the most recent mammogram, achieving an AUC of 0.80 for 5-year risk prediction compared to 0.74 for static models (p < .01). It identified high-risk women, including 61% of diagnosed BC cases, and performed well across both Black and White women. The findings suggest that using a woman's screening history can enhance BC risk prediction and help guide decisions for supplemental screening or preventive interventions. @gcolditz Ping #BreastCancer Faculty @matteolambe @aftimosp @E_de_Azambuja @NicoleKuderer @FAndreMD @prat_aleix @DrSGraff @jesusanampa @StoverLab @curijoey @ErikaHamilton9 @double_whammied @stage4kelly @coffeemommy @itsnot_pink @maryam_lustberg @IBCResearch @kevinpunie @nicolobattisti @raalbany @hoperugo @stolaney1 @LoiSher @jamecancerdoc @JavierCortesMD @JaniceTNBCmets @Prof_Nadia_H @itrisabel #OncoAlertAF @nataliagandur @acampsmalea @BiagioRicciutMD @yekeduz_emre @HHorinouchi @FadiHaddad_MD @Dr_Ivanoncologo @Abdallah81MD @FernandoOnco @ElisaAgostinett @to_be_elizabeth @lungoncdoc @bavilima @realbowtiedoc @Erman_Akkus @DrFMartinelli @Lucarecco buff.ly/3ZEXvbt

Wonderful to have another paper from the breast precancer atlas out! Data suggest different molecular mechanisms drive initiation and subsequent ipsilateral breast events in Black vs. White women.

The Cancer Screening Research Network investigates how to identify cancers earlier. The @USUhealthsci and the @DeptVetAffairs, along with several NCI-supported institutions, will evaluate emerging technologies for cancer screening. go.nih.gov/V9Q8H3z #NCRM24 #CancerMoonshot
