Summary
A new AI tool, developed by researchers at NYU Langone Health, could help predict a woman’s risk of developing breast cancer within five years, according to a study published in the American Journal of Roentgenology. The model uses multiple years of 3D mammograms to track changes in breast tissue, rather than relying on a single scan. The study analyzed over 313,000 mammograms from 161,000 women. Experts say AI could identify risk factors not detected by traditional methods, such as family history or genetic mutations. However, the tool is still a research model and not yet approved for clinical use.

This guidance has been heard before.
AI tools now predict cancer risk, just as they once predicted heart disease.
Studies use big data, but results are still preliminary.
Experts warn against overconfidence in new models.
The same uncertainty surrounds every new health breakthrough.
