Advancing Toxicology-Based Cancer Risk Assessment with Informatics
… in the environment from various point sources, cancer risk assessment attempts to define and limit potential exposure such that the risk of developing cancer is negligible. While cancer risk assessment is widely used with certain methodologies well accepted in the scientific literature and …

TACTILE AND MULTISPECTRAL BIMODAL IMAGING FOR BREAST CANCER RISK ASSESSMENT
American Cancer Society estimates that in 2021 nearly 300,000 women in the United States will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, and about 43,600 women will die from breast cancer. While many have access to health care and cancer screening, women from rural or underdeveloped communities …

Improving breast cancer risk assessment with image-based deep learning models
Discriminative models for breast cancer risk prediction are needed in order to provide personalized patient care. Existing breast cancer risk models incorporate information about breast tissue using imaging biomarkers such as density scores. However, these imaging biomarkers are limited in that …

Machine Learning Methods for Image-based Personalized Cancer Screening
… the above challenges in three areas: 1) cancer risk assessment from imaging, 2) personalized screening policy design and 3) private data sharing through neural obfuscation. I have demonstrated that our clinical models offer significant improvements over the current standard of care across …

Sybil: Predicting Future Lung Cancer Risk From a Single Low-Dose Chest Computed Tomography
Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) for Jung cancer screening is effective, though most eligible people are not being screened. Tools that provide personalized future cancer risk assessment could focus approaches toward those most likely to benefit. We hypothesize that a deep learning model …

Prediction, Communication, and Distribution of Breast Cancer Risk
… group in the United States (US) for which breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer and leading cause of cancer deaths. Despite the availability of tools to assess breast cancer risk, relatively little is known about the performance of current breast cancer risk prediction models and …

Statistical Methods For Two Problems In Cancer Research: Analysis of Rna-Seq Data From Archival Samples and Characterization of Onset of Multiple Primary Cancers
… important topics in translational and clinical cancer research.</p> <p>The first topic was motivated by the challenge of applying transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) to formalin-fixation and paraffin-embedding (FFPE) tumor samples for reliable diagnostic development. We designed a biospecimen …
