Background: We sought to evaluate whether a woman's 5-year Gail risk adds to the predictive value of the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) classification for the detection of breast cancer.
Methods: We performed a retrospective review of the BI-RADS classifications and pathology results for all image-guided needle breast biopsy examinations over a 3-year period at our institution. The 5-year Gail risk was calculated for eligible patients. Chi-square analysis was used to compare rates of malignancy based on Gail and BI-RADS scores.
Results: A total of 632 image-guided needle biopsy examinations were performed in 609 women. A total of 414 women had suspicious (BI-RADS 4) lesions and underwent 424 biopsy examinations. For this subset, women with a Gail risk of less than 1.7% had 21% malignant results, whereas those with a Gail risk of 1.7% or greater had 42% malignant results (relative risk, 1.94; 95% confidence interval, 1.45-2.66).
Conclusions: The Gail model can stratify further the risk for breast cancer in women with suspicious breast imaging reports.

This exploratory qualitative study involved semi-structured interviews with adults and caregivers of adults at high risk of severe COVID-19, addressing current COVID-19 avoidance and protective behaviors and how these behaviors impacted their lives. Results were interpreted in a separate think tank session. Insights were developed into a conceptual model of COVID-19 avoidance and protective behaviors and the associated impacts on health-related quality of life and overall functioning.

Article Synopsis
- * The study reviewed various prediction factors (like age, menstruation, and health history) and models (such as logistic regression and decision trees) to better identify patients at risk of EAOC.
- * The findings indicate that the identified prediction models have good accuracy and could improve early detection and treatment strategies for women at high risk of developing EAOC.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of cellular senescence in breast cancer development, highlighting its dual nature as both a potential barrier to cancer growth and a promoter of tumor-related inflammation, but notes that understanding in humans is limited due to previous research mainly in non-human models.
- Researchers analyzed breast biopsy samples from healthy women using advanced deep learning techniques to identify senescence markers in different tissue types, aiming to link these markers to breast cancer risk.
- The findings were compared to established breast cancer risk assessment methods (Gail scores) to evaluate the effectiveness of senescence as a predictor for future breast cancer development.
