New Risk Factors for Breast Cancer Based on Digital Mammograms: Determinants, Prediction of Interval Cancers, and Clinical Translation Through Volpara
Grant number: 1185980 | Funding period: 2020 - 2022

Abstract
Our new breast cancer risk factors based on recently identified features of a mammogram can help understand the causes of breast cancer and enable more cost-effective screening. We will analyse digital mammograms for >4,000 women to study our new risk measures, improve prediction of interval cancers, and compare the new measures with VOLPARA’s automated measure of density. Our work will improve breast cancer risk prediction and be translated into breast screening practice globally.
