Abstract Treatment selection in breast cancer is guided by risk assessment using molecular subtypes and clinicopathological characteristics. However, current approaches lack the precision required for optimal clinical decision-making. To address this, we use data from 8161 patients to develop and evaluate an AI test integrating digital pathology with clinical data. The AI test provides a robust method for predicting disease-free interval (C-index: 0.71 [0.68-0.75], HR: 3.63 [3.02-4.37, p < 0.001]).

Background Disease progression in patients with estrogen receptor–positive (ER+)/HER2-negative (HER2–) metastatic breast cancer on first-line endocrine therapy (ET) plus CDK4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) is associated with resistance mechanisms that impact the efficacy of subsequent therapy, which may include ET with or without targeted agents (CDK4/6i or PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway inhibitors).

What was your first job as a journalist?

For my first official assignment, I covered a vigil for a beloved community-minded woman who was hit by a car on her way home.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Sparingly. I own a Remington 666 Sperry Rand that is woefully kept in storage.

How is social media changing news?

Infographics are shaping the way people think about concepts and events typically explored by news. That has its ups and downs.
