Komen\u00ae to develop a risk prediction tool that will consider the different risk factors for ER+ and ER- breast cancer, along with age-related incidence patterns in African-American women. This tool will help identify African-American women who would benefit from earlier and more frequent screening or alternative modes of screening.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Palmer, who also serves as professor of epidemiology at BU\u2019s School of Public Health and associate director for population sciences at the BU-BMC Cancer Center, is one of eight New England researchers named Komen Scholars. The grants awarded by Susan G.
