Precision Supplemental Imaging in Women With Dense Breasts
Recent research has shown that, among women with extremely dense breasts and normal results on mammogram, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) use has significantly reduced the occurrence of breast cancer that is diagnosed during the time between two regular screening mammograms (also known as interval cancers). The investigators have developed and validated an approach to use the whole mammogram image, develop a mammogram risk score (MRS), and calibrate this to the SEER breast cancer incidence rates for US women…

About this study
Recent research has shown that, among women with extremely dense breasts and normal results on mammogram, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) use has significantly reduced the occurrence of breast cancer that is diagnosed during the time between two regular screening mammograms (also known as interval cancers). The investigators have developed and validated an approach to use the whole mammogram image, develop a mammogram risk score (MRS), and calibrate this to the SEER breast cancer incidence rates for US women. This model (Prognosia Breast) generates an absolute 5-year risk of breast cancer and classifies approximately 5.7% of the population as high risk using the ASCO 3% cut point as used for endocrine therapy to reduce risk. Follow-up generates an incidence of 25.2 cases per 1,000 women per year.
Interventions
- Device: Prognosia Breast — The risk output from this algorithm is calibrated to US Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) 5-year risk and so estimates for each woman the personal 5-year risk.
- Device: Mammogram — Standard of care annual screening mammogram
- Device: MRI — MRI at the time of annual screening mammogram
Primary outcomes
- Number of successful recommendations for MRI (Feasibility portion only) (Through completion of follow-up (estimated to be 24 months))
- 2-year detection rate (Randomized Controlled Trial only) (2 years)
