Article Synopsis
- Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) can lead to invasive breast cancer, but many cases are harmless and may be overtreated, leading to a need for better identification of low-risk patients.
- Researchers created an AI-based tool called AIDmap to analyze the morphology of DCIS cells in tissue samples to assess the risk of developing invasive breast cancer.
- The study found that specific morphological features, such as smaller duct sizes and lower cell counts, are associated with a reduced risk of invasive breast cancer, suggesting AIDmap could help identify women with harmless DCIS who might avoid unnecessary treatment.
