Until now, screening strategies relied on human knowledge of major risk factors \u2013 such as age, family history of breast and ovarian cancer, and breast density \u2013 in estimating individual risk. With this tool, the team hopes physicians will be able to customize screening and prevention programs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\u201cSince the 1960s radiologists have noticed that women have unique and widely variable patterns of breast tissue visible on the mammogram,\u201d says Lehman. \u201cThese patterns can represent the influence of genetics, hormones, pregnancy, lactation, diet, weight loss, and weight gain. We can now leverage this detailed information to be more precise in our risk assessment at the individual level.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women and the second leading cause of cancer death among women. Proper screening and early detection allow physicians to diagnose breast cancer sooner, leading to faster treatment, better outcomes, and reduced breast cancer mortality. Now, MIT has introduced a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that can predict from…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":5910,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5839","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ob-gyn"],"featured_image":{"blog-river":{"src":"https:\/\/vivaevecom.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/iStock-917730078-672x504.jpg","width":672,"height":504,"srcset":false,"alt":"Female gynecologist looking at a mammogram at the hospital"}},"the_categories":[{"id":22,"name":"Ob\/Gyn","slug":"ob-gyn","taxonomy":"category","link":"https:\/\/vivaevecom.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/category\/ob-gyn\/"}],"the_author":"Katherine Muniz","formatted_date":"July 5, 2019","acf":[],"estimated_read_time":2,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vivaevecom.kinsta.cloud\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5839","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vivaevecom.kinsta.cloud\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vivaevecom.kinsta.cloud\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vivaevecom.kinsta.cloud\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/20"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vivaevecom.kinsta.cloud\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5839"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/vivaevecom.kinsta.cloud\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5839\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5841,"href":"https:\/\/vivaevecom.kinsta.cloud\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5839\/revisions\/5841"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vivaevecom.kinsta.cloud\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5910"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vivaevecom.kinsta.cloud\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5839"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vivaevecom.kinsta.cloud\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5839"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vivaevecom.kinsta.cloud\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5839"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
