Assistant Professor of Medicine
Bio
Medical oncologist Frederick Howard, MD, is an expert in treating breast cancer. In 2024, Dr. Howard was named to the prestigious list of 40 Under 40 in Cancer, an award that recognizes him as one of the nation’s most promising young oncology professionals and celebrates his contributions to improve the lives of those affected by cancer.
Although there is often a wealth of information available at the time of breast cancer diagnosis, such as digital images of tumor biopsy specimens and radiographic imaging such as breast MRI, data from imaging is under-utilized in decision making for breast cancer. This project will utilize artificial intelligence (AI) approaches on cases from three (3) Chicagoland Hospitals to improve prediction of recurrence risk using all the information available at the time of diagnosis, allowing for improved personalization of treatment decisions.
