“AI algorithms are so good at detecting breast cancer from radiology scans that they’re even starting to outperform humans in some cases — the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) is now using AI to analyze mammograms, helping to spot breast cancer cases missed by human doctors.
But while AI can speed up the analysis of cancer screenings, doctors also need new methods to identify the markers of cancer at the earliest stages, before cancer tumors are visible in scans.
A pilot study has trialed a new method of blood screening, combined with AI, to detect breast cancer at very early stages.
The study, which was published in the Journal of Biophotonics in November, found their method could detect stage 1A breast cancers with an accuracy of 90-100%.”
