New model could offer personalised breast cancer screening approach, say experts Researchers have developed a new model that predicts a woman’s likelihood of developing and then dying of breast cancer within a decade.
Current breast cancer screening is vital, but can lead to overdiagnosis and unnecessary treatments, posing challenges to the NHS, researchers say.
They suggest the new model could aid a personalised screening approach, targeting women at the highest risk.
This could potentially reduce breast cancer deaths, and cut unnecessary screenings for those at lower risk. The Independent
