GUANGZHOU, China, Nov. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The 2025 Understanding China Conference (“the Conference”) is set to kick off on November 30 in Guangzhou, convening global statesmen, scholars, industry leaders, and international organization representatives to explore the theme New Plan, New Development, New Choices — Chinese Modernization and New Vision for Global Governance. This landmark event will delve into the 15th Five-Year Plan’s global significance, innovative pathways for Chinese modernization, emerging opportunities for world advancement, and collaborative actions under the Global Governance Initiative.

Co-organized by the China Institute for Innovation & Development Strategy (CIIDS), the Chinese People’s Institute of Foreign Affairs (CPIFA), and the People’s Government of Guangdong Province, and hosted by the Guangzhou Municipal People’s Government, the three-day conference will feature an opening ceremony, leadership speeches, keynote addresses, guest dialogues, four parallel seminars, 19 thematic forums, three Greater Bay Area dialogues, five closed-door seminars, and a series of supporting activities. All sessions except the closed-door seminars will be open to the media, fostering transparent international exchange.

To date, around 200 international representatives from 72 countries and regions, including Hong Kong and Macao, have confirmed attendance, with 70% from Global South nations and 70% attending for the first time. On-site participants include seven former statesmen at or above vice-premier level, 11 at ministerial level, and five foreign envoys and international organization representatives in China. Over 300 Chinese guests will deliver speeches, bringing the total to approximately 800 participants. This year’s event stands out for its broad geographical reach and representativeness, amplifying the conference’s role as a vital platform for Global South voices to draw on China’s modernization successes and advance a community with a shared future for mankind.

The thematic framework highlights four key aspects:

CHICAGO, Nov. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — An image-only artificial intelligence (AI) model for predicting the five-year risk of breast cancer provided stronger and more precise risk stratification than breast density assessment, according to a new study being presented next week at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).

Senior author Constance D. Lehman, M.D., Ph.D., professor of radiology at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts, said traditional methods of assessing a woman’s risk for breast cancer, including age, family history, genetics and breast density, are inadequate.

“Over two million women are diagnosed with breast cancer annually, and for most, it comes as a complete shock,” she said. “Only 5 to 10% of breast cancer cases are considered hereditary, and breast density alone is a very weak predictor of risk.”

Clairity Breast, the first FDA-authorized image-only AI breast cancer risk model, was trained on 421,499 mammograms from 27 facilities in Europe, South America and the U.S. Using mammograms both from women who developed cancer and women who did not develop cancer over the subsequent five years helped the AI model to learn the patterns and differences in breast tissue that predict cancer risk. The model was calibrated on an independent test set using a deep convolutional neural network to generate five-year risk probabilities.

“The model is able to detect changes in the breast tissue that the human eye can’t see,” Dr. Lehman said. “This is a job that radiologists just can’t perform. It’s a separate task from detection and diagnosis, and it will open a whole new field of medicine, leveraging the power of AI and untapped information in the image.”

The model was applied to a study group of 236,422 bilateral 2D screening mammograms from five U.S. sites and 8,810 from one European site. The mammograms were acquired between 2011 and 2017. Radiologist-reported breast density (dense versus not dense) and five-year cancer outcomes were extracted from medical records and tumor registries, respectively. AI-predicted risks were categorized using National Comprehensive Cancer Network thresholds: average (less than 1.7%), intermediate (1.7-3.0%) and high (greater than 3.0%).

The researchers compared the risk categories using statistical models that account for follow-up time and censoring.

Accounting for breast density, women in the high-risk AI group had more than a fourfold higher cancer incidence than women in the average-risk group (5.9% vs. 1.3%). By contrast, breast density alone showed only modest separation (3.2% for dense vs. 2.7% for non-dense).

“The results of this large-scale analysis demonstrate that AI risk models provide far stronger and more precise risk stratification for five-year cancer prediction than breast density alone,” said first author and presenter Christiane Kuhl, M.D., Ph.D., director, Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology at University Hospital RWTH Aachen, in Germany. “Our findings support the use of image-only AI as a complement to traditional markers supporting a more personalized approach to screening.”

The American Cancer Society currently recommends that women at average risk have the option to start annual breast cancer screening with mammography at age 40. However, women under 40 are the fastest-growing group being diagnosed with breast cancer and advanced disease.

“An AI image-based risk score can help us identify high-risk women more accurately than traditional methods and determine who may need screening at an earlier age,” Dr. Lehman said. “We already screen some women in their 30s when they are clearly at high risk based on family history or genetics. In the future, a baseline mammogram at 30 could allow women with a high image-based risk score to join that earlier, more effective screening pathway.”

Breast density legislation enacted in 32 states requires healthcare providers to inform women undergoing a screening mammogram of their breast density.

“We’d like to see women given information on their breast density and their AI image-based risk score,” Dr. Lehman said. “We can do better than just looking at a mammogram and saying, ‘It is dense or not dense’ to inform women of their risk.”
