🎗️ Breast Cancer Awareness Month | Research that Makes a Difference
Breast cancer is not the same for every woman – understanding its differences is essential for more effective treatment.
Ana Margarida Mota, IBEB’s professor and researcher, has published a review article in Cancers on the use of artificial intelligence in breast imaging to identify the biological characteristics of each tumor without the need for invasive biopsies. This work highlights the role of AI in personalizing diagnosis and promoting a more precise and humane medicine.
AI models can predict key tumor characteristics directly from MM and BT, showing promise as non-invasive tools to complement or even replace biopsy. However, challenges remain in terms of generalizability, external validation, and clinical integration. Future work should prioritize standardized annotations, larger multicentric datasets, and integration of histological or transcriptomic validation to ensure robustness and real-world applicability.
