★★ Sarah Lucas's Big Women is haunted by the spectre of Ladette culture
is absolutely of the moment. Curated by former Young British Artist Sarah Lucas, it is an exuberant presentation of work by 25 British artists working in various media, who by strength of numbers alone promise a juicy and substantial account of female creativity over the past 40 odd years., and the Barbican’s Alice Neel retrospective, against whichlooks seriously out of step.
The tabloid press made hay as women set about proving that men didn’t have the monopoly on disagreeable behaviour, and Lucas, along with fellow YBAs including Tracy Emin and Damien Hirst obligingly helped fill column inches with their outrageous art and hedonistic doings, and if memory serves a fondness for the word “fuck”.
For a show claiming to foreground the experiences of overlooked older women, you’ll struggle to find much that concerns itself with later life, or even mid life, and still less that celebrates it. Maggi Hambling’s sculpted tribute to Henriettas Moraes takes the form of an enormous meringue, which Moraes developed a fondness for in later life after being diagnosed as diabetic.

Variability Among Breast Cancer Risk Classification Models When Applied at the Level of the Individual Woman - Journal of General Internal MedicineBackground Breast cancer risk models guide screening and chemoprevention decisions, but the extent and effect of variability among models, particularly at the individual level, is uncertain. Objective To quantify the accuracy and disagreement between commonly used risk models in categorizing individual women as average vs. high risk for developing invasive breast cancer. Design Comparison of three risk prediction models: Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool (BCRAT), Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium (BCSC) model, and International Breast Intervention Study (IBIS) model. Subjects Women 40 to 74 years of age presenting for screening mammography at a multisite health system between 2011 and 2015, with 5-year follow-up for cancer outcome. Main Measures Comparison of model discrimination and calibration at the population level and inter-model agreement for 5-year breast cancer risk at the individual level using two cutoffs (≥ 1.67% and ≥ 3.0%). Key Results A total of 31,115 women were included. When using the ≥ 1.67% threshold, more than 21% of women were classified as high risk for developing breast cancer in the next 5 years by one model, but average risk by another model. When using the ≥ 3.0% threshold, more than 5% of women had disagreements in risk severity between models. Almost half of the women (46.6%) were classified as high risk by at least one of the three models (e.g., if all three models were applied) for the threshold of ≥ 1.67%, and 11.1% were classified as high risk for ≥ 3.0%. All three models had similar accuracy at the population level. Conclusions Breast cancer risk estimates for individual women vary substantially, depending on which risk assessment model is used. The choice of cutoff used to define high risk can lead to adverse effects for screening, preventive care, and quality of life for misidentified individuals. Clinicians need to be aware of the high false-positive and false-negative rates and variation between models when talking with pati
