Hidden clues could help predict a woman’s breast cancer risk years in advance

The tool reads several years of a woman's 3D mammograms, tracking how breast tissue changes over time rather than relying on the latest scan alone. NYU Langone researchers trained it on more than 313,000 mammograms from over 161,000 women to estimate breast cancer risk up to five years ahead. That could let doctors offer extra screening, like MRI, to women that family history alone would not flag.
