What Impact Will AI Have on Traditional Breast Cancer Risk Calculators?

Artificial intelligence can now directly assess the risk of breast cancer from a mammogram, and the evidence supporting this is quite robust. However, this new technology won't replace the traditional Gail or Tyrer-Cuzick risk assessment scores. Instead, it will complement them, raising a crucial question: who will oversee the increasing amount of risk information, and how will it be managed?

AI won't replace the Gail or Tyrer-Cuzick risk calculators — it adds a mammogram-derived score alongside them. Here's what managing multiple risk estimates means operationally for breast imaging programs.
