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.

Cancer experts, however, have expressed concerns over the potential number of women who delayed breast cancer screenings and mammograms due to covid-related closures or backlogs. Let’s look at some of the recent numbers and revisit the importance of breast cancer screenings and mammograms. Why is Your Yearly Mammogram Important?

Additional imaging and possibly image-guided biopsy are recommended for women who have an abnormal screening mammogram. The researchers identified multilevel factors associated with the availability of diagnostic services after an abnormal screening mammogram and women undergoing standard-of-care and advanced diagnostic services.

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 created a “perfect storm” for undetected breast cancer. A combination of canceled elective screenings and procedures, staff and PPE shortages, office closures, and personal health concerns all contributed to a decline in the number of routine mammograms provided for at-risk women.

While fewer than 5% of women with breast cancer are diagnosed before the age of 40(1), those cancers are usually aggressive, and the young patients suffer from poor survival outcomes. Unfortunately, routine screening mammograms are not recommended for women under 40 because risks outweigh potential benefits at this young age.

An AI model developed by Duke University researchers can predict five-year breast cancer risk from mammograms, a study published March 19 in Radiology found. They cautioned that with this in mind, the algorithm could be relied on too heavily by radiologists and lead to incorrect diagnoses. AI has shown that it can help in this area.
