So, if you take this risk assessment test and you get above 20%. Um, what are you supposed to do. And and why is 20% the marker.So, our lifetime risk as women in America is 13%. Once it's above 20%, that means we want to be more proactive to find it because we might not just find it if we only do the annual screening tests. So the supplemental screening typically would be a breast MRI and then going forward you would do a mammogram and ultrasound once a year. Six months later you would do an MRI which would ...

Could we detect breast cancer with your fingerprint? | Simona Francese | TEDxManchester

Breast Cancer Statistics and Screening Challenges - Globally, breast cancer caused 670,000 deaths in 2022, with 11,500 deaths in the UK, equating to 32 deaths per day, and cases are predicted to rise to 70,000 by 2040 [1] - While death rates are falling by 44% due to interventions, better screening, and treatments, low screening uptake remains a concern, especially among underserved populations [1] - NHS backlogs, exacerbated by decades of underfunding and COVID-19, contribute to reduced resources and disproportion between screenings needed and available radiologists and mammographic equipment [1] - Accessibility problems are significantly worse for underserved populations, with cultural unacceptability, invasiveness, fear of radiation, and pain deterring women from undergoing mammography [1] - A survey revealed that 21% of 2,000 women cited embarrassment and fear of pain as reasons for avoiding screening [1] Fingerprint-Based Breast Cancer Screening Innovation - A novel fingerprint-based test is proposed as a non-invasive, radiation-free, and painless alternative to mammography, bypassing NHS backlogs and resource constraints [1] - The technology utilizes mass spectrometry (MALDI) to analyze molecular patterns in fingerprints, identifying proteins indicative of an individual's state, including potential biomarkers for breast cancer [1] - Research demonstrated the ability to differentiate between male and female fingerprints with 86% accuracy by analyzing protein profiles [2] - A study involving 135 samples from 15 women showed that a machine learning algorithm could distinguish between early breast cancer, benign conditions, and metastatic cancer with 97.8% accuracy [2] - The fingerprint test aims to reduce NHS costs, increase accessibility (potentially at GP practices or at home), improve compliance, and ultimately save lives [2]
