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

Abstract

With this funded project, we will enhance DSU breast cancer research resources. We will train a cadre of DSU faculty to study breast cancer and establish an independent breast cancer research program at DSU by performing a joint DSU UPENN research project focused on breast cancer risk disparity in minority populations. During last year, we focused on joint training and research activities. We completed the transfer of clinical data from ACRIN DMIST study; we identified limitations of the current standard methods for the estimation of risk biomarkers (which require only a single input image), and developed a conceptual design of a biomarker estimation system to support the analysis of breast cancer risk racial disparity and the prospective refinement of the risk prediction methods.
