Make way for our latest paper on breast cancer risk prediction ! 🧪 In this study, researchers applied the BOADICEA breast cancer risk prediction model to 50,000 🇩🇰 women and provided valid risk estimates. Here is the Open Access paper: lnkd.in/dSSzi7Pm #Science #cancer @ucph.bsky.social
Finally, our breast cancer risk prediction paper has been published!
 
Breast cancer screening tailored to a woman’s individual risk seems beneficial both for each woman and at the societal level — but only if we can measure that risk accurately.
 
In this study, we used the BOADICEA breast cancer risk prediction model, which combines age, genetics, family history, lifestyle/hormonal factors, and mammographic density, and applied it to 50,000 Danish women.
 
Overall, the predictions were well calibrated and provided valid risk estimates.
 
Thank you to all coauthors for your great and valuable contributions.
A special thanks to Rikke Louise Jacobsen, Timo Röder, Antonis Antoniou, and to the supervisors Søren Brunak and Stig E Bojesen, whose guidance and leadership were invaluable.
