Breast Cancer Risk Assessment

Last updated on Jul 18, 2026

According to the World Health Organization, starting from 2010, cancer will become the leading cause of death worldwide. Prevention of major cancer localizations through a quantified assessment of risk factors is a major concern in order to decrease their impact in our society. In this project our objective was to find and to evaluate modeling methods easily readable by a physician.

This work is based on the thesis work of Gauthier Emilien (PhD defense in 2013).
