The NCI has launched an initiative to identify genetic alterations that create susceptibility to prostate and breast cancer. The three-year, $14 million Cancer Genetic Markers of Susceptibility project will begin by scanning 2500 genetic samples from men who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer as well as a control group. Data will be available via the NCI.
Considering Breast- and Lesion-Level Assessments with Mammography AI: What New Research Reveals
June 27th 2025While there was a decline of AUC for mammography AI software from breast-level assessments to lesion-level evaluation, the authors of a new study, involving 1,200 women, found that AI offered over a seven percent higher AUC for lesion-level interpretation in comparison to unassisted expert readers.
