AI Tool Can Predict Breast Cancer Risk in Women Within Four Years, Australian Study Finds

Australia. Australian research has shown that the use of artificial intelligence (AI) can identify the risk of breast cancer in women within the next four years. It is believed that this will help make future breast screenings more effective.

The device was developed using the 'mammogram' data of approximately four hundred thousand women in the research. It was then tested on about 96,000 women. The study showed that this device can estimate cancer risk more accurately compared to traditional methods such as breast density, age, family history, and other medical statistics.

According to the study, breast cancer was found in about 10 percent of women in the high-risk group within four years. This device proved more effective than conventional methods in identifying at-risk women.

According to researchers, such AI-based risk assessment helps personalize the breast screening system. It increases the possibility of closely monitoring high-risk women and screening low-risk women less frequently. This can save both time and money and help save lives.

Experts have stated that such tools have the potential to revolutionize healthcare systems in the future. Since it helps in identifying diseases like breast cancer at an early stage, the effectiveness of treatment will also increase.
