Image Based Biomarker of Breast Cancer Risk: Analysis of Risk Disparity among Minority Populations

Abstract

To enhance Delaware State University (DSU) breast cancer research resources, we (4 faculty members at DSU - mentees) have been improving our expertise in translational and clinical breast cancer research by taking a graduate cancer related course/semester/person. Together with our mentors from the University of Pennsylvania (UPENN) we have organized and attended DSU-UPENN Breast Cancer Basics seminar series at DSU. DSU and UPENN mentees and mentors meet by-weekly physically or by teleconferences. We are currently developing a database of clinical biomarkers computed from clinical breast images obtained from the ACRIN DMIST trial, and from a clinical study performed previously at UPENN.
