Improving the diagnostic accuracy of a stratified screening strategy by identifying the optimal risk cutoff

ConclusionOur research provides a general approach to optimize the diagnostic accuracy of a stratified screening strategy in a population, and to assess whether risk models are sufficiently accurate to guide stratified screening. For breast cancer, most risk models lack enough discriminatory accuracy to make stratified screening a reasonable recommendation.
