This doesn’t mean your hospital will let a computer determine whether you have cancer any time soon. There’s still a lot more research to do, but the study, published Tuesday in the journal The Lancet Oncology, shows that AI is safe to use in breast cancer detection and could make doctors even more effective at finding cancer than they are now. Other studies have shown that AI can be useful at predicting breast cancer risk, but they use models or have been focused on retrospective data.
Any kind of technology that could help with breast screening could make a big difference. Breast cancer incidence has been increasing by 0.5% per year, according to the American Cancer Society, although there hasn’t been a corresponding increase in the number of deaths. While breast cancer is still the No. 2 killer of women who die from cancer, behind only lung cancer, more women have survived than decades ago, largely because of effective screening.
