Good news! Cancer is history (soon)! This is only the beginning and it could get much better!
Need mammograms be done more often than every 3 years at least in some cases like family history?
What is also remarkable is the very high acceptance rate for the use of AI in their diagnosis (over 99%) by participating women in this study!
"The tool, called Mia, was piloted alongside NHS clinicians and analysed the mammograms of over 10,000 women.
Most of them were cancer-free, but it successfully flagged all of those with symptoms, as well as an extra 11 the doctors did not identify.
At their earliest stages, cancers can be extremely small and hard to spot. ...
Because her 6mm tumour was caught so early she had an operation but only needed five days of radiotherapy. Breast cancer patients with tumours which are smaller than 15mm when discovered have a 90% survival rate over the following five years. ...
Without the AI tool's assistance, [her] cancer would potentially not have been spotted until her next routine mammogram three years later. She had not experienced any noticeable symptoms. ...
Of the 10,889 women who participated in the trial, only 81 did not want the AI tool to review their scans. ...
it took six years to build and train Mia, which is run on cloud computing power from Microsoft, and it was trained on "millions" of mammograms from "women all over the world". ..."
