Multi-MicroRNA Analysis Can Improve the Diagnostic Performance of Mammography in Determining Breast Cancer Risk by Ji-Eun Song, Ji Young Jang, Kyung Nam Kang, Ji Soo Jung, Chul Woo Kim, Ah Sol Kim

“…Breast cancer risk scores for each Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) category in multi-microRNA analysis were analyzed to examine the correlation between breast cancer risk scores and mammography categories. We generated two models using two classification algorithms, SVM and GLM, with a combination of four miRNA biomarkers showing high performance and sensitivities of 84.5% and 82.1%, a specificity of 85%, and areas under the curve (AUCs) of 0.967 and 0.965, respectively, which showed consistent performance across all stages of breast cancer and patient ages. …”
