Using AI to predict breast cancer and personalize care

"Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, we can personalize screening around a woman's risk of developing cancer," says Barzilay, senior author of a new paper about the project out recently in Radiology. "For example, a doctor might recommend that one group of women get a mammogram every other year, while another higher-risk group might get supplemental MRI screening." Barzilay is the Delta Electronics Professor at CSAIL and the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT and a member of the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT.
