    This study developed machine learning models integrating multimodal features to enhance breast mass malignancy risk stratification.

  • 2

    The dataset included 2,685 patients with 3,703 ultrasound images, comprising 2,069 benign and 616 malignant cases.

  • 3

    The Random Forest model using combined multimodal features achieved the highest AUC of 0.850 for overall performance.

  • 4

    Performance was excellent for BI-RADS categories 2 and 3, but limitations were noted in higher-risk categories 4b and 4c.

  • 5

    The findings suggest potential clinical utility for reducing unnecessary biopsies and improving diagnostic confidence in breast cancer.
