From full-field digital mammograms, the AI extracted mammographic features including density, microcalcifications, masses, and left-right breast asymmetries for risk assessment. The model was tested on four European mammographic screening populations in three countries screened between 2009 and 2020 for women ages 45 to 69.
However, mammograms contain highly predictive biomarkers of future cancer risk. They conducted a study that included 129,340 routine bilateral screening mammograms performed in 71,479 women between 2009 to 2018 with five-year follow-up data. Mammograms contain highly predictive biomarkers of future cancer risk.
B) The right mediolateral oblique (RMLO) and (C) right craniocaudal (RCC) mammograms, obtained on the same day, show heterogeneously dense breast tissue that was assessed as being negative for cancer. (D) The research included 3,688 women who underwent breast cancer surgery between January 2009 and December 2014.

Harris in his editorial, however, cited randomized controlled trials that influenced the task force’s recommendations in 2002 and 2009 that showed little to no statistically significant reduction in breast cancer mortality in women ages 40 to 49 years. He also wrote that overdiagnosis can be harmful to women.
In its 2009 recommendations , the task force chose instead to recommend that women receive biennial screening at the age of 50 and kept to that position when updating its recommendations in 2016. ". Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirement that all women having mammograms receive notice that their breasts are dense or not dense.
Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) in 2009 to screen every other year, or biennially, beginning at age 50 resulted in a nationwide decline in screening participation. Annual screening of women 40-79 years showed the lowest per mammogram false-positive screens (6.5%) and benign biopsies (0.88%) compared to other screening scenarios.
