Discriminating malignant breast lesions from benign ones and accurately predicting the risk of breast cancer for individual patients are critical in successful clinical decision-making. In the past, several artificial neural network (ANN) models have been developed for breast cancer risk prediction. All of these studies reported discrimination performance, but none has assessed calibration, which is an equivalently important measure for accurate risk prediction. In this study, we have evaluated whether an artificial neural network (ANN) trained on a large prospectively-collected dataset of consecutive mammography findings can discriminate between benign and malignant disease and accurately predict the probability of breast cancer for individual patients. Our dataset consisted of 62,219 consecutively collected mammography findings matched with Wisconsin State Cancer Reporting System. We built a three-layer feedforward ANN with 1000 hidden layer nodes. We trained and tested our ANN using ten-fold cross validation to predict the risk of breast cancer. We used area the under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity to evaluate discriminative performance of the radiologists and our ANN. We assessed the accuracy of risk prediction (i.e. calibration) of our ANN using the Hosmer–Lemeshow (H-L) goodness-of-fit test. Our ANN demonstrated superior discrimination, AUC = 0.965, as compared to the radiologists, AUC = 0.939 (P < 0.001). Our ANN was also well-calibrated as shown by an H-L goodness of fit P-value of 0.13. Our ANN can effectively discriminate malignant abnormalities from benign ones and accurately predict the risk of breast cancer for individual abnormalities.
