Comparative 10-year performance of mammography artificial intelligence, polygenic, and clinical breast cancer risk models in the Kaiser Permanente Research Bank.

BACKGROUND

We compared performance across 3 breast cancer risk domains-clinical, polygenic, and mammography artificial intelligence-alone and in combination over a 10-year time horizon among women with a negative screening mammogram within a Kaiser Permanente Research Bank (KPRB) prospective cohort.

METHODS

The study included 82 957 women (61 962 non-Hispanic White, 7256 Asian, 3414 Black, and 5466 Latina) who enrolled in KPRB between 2003 to 2020. Women with a prior history of breast cancer or high/moderate-penetrant gene mutation were excluded. The negative screening mammogram (no clinically visible cancer) closest to enrollment was used to generate the Mirai mammography AI risk score. KPRB survey and electronic health record data were used to generate the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium version 3 (BCSCv3) clinical risk score. Genome-wide genotypes were used to compute the 313-SNP polygenic risk score, adjusted for genetic ancestry (PRS313adj). Risks of breast cancer (invasive or ductal carcinoma in situ) at 0 to 10 years after the mammogram were estimated using Cox models, with 5-fold cross-validation used to estimate the C-index.

RESULTS

During 10 years of follow-up, 2471 women developed breast cancer. The C-index (95% CI) for the combined model with all 3 risk scores (0.70; 95% CI = 0.69 to 0.71) was significantly higher than for univariate models with only the BCSCv3 (0.62; 95% CI = 0.61 to 0.63), PRS313adj (0.61; 95% CI = 0.60 to 0.62), or Mirai (0.66; 95% CI = 0.65 to 0.67) risk score.

CONCLUSIONS

Integrating mammographic AI and polygenic risk scores with clinical risk models significantly improved breast cancer risk discrimination, supporting use of combined models for personalized screening and prevention.
