Five researchers from FHI, the University of California and the University of Washington were given access to a commercially available AI programme to retroactively analyse the mammographies of 116,495 women who took part in a Norwegian detection programme between 2004 and 2018.
The algorithm was able to predict which women ran a higher risk of developing breast cancer, and even identify which breast was at risk, four to six years before a diagnosis.
“The study shows that the AI algorithms already available on the market can be used to develop more personalised detection programmes,“ she said.
According to the World Health Organization, 670,000 women died of breast cancer in 2022, the most common form of cancer among women in most countries.
The Norwegian detection programme also launched a project last year involving 140,000 women to determine whether AI could be as efficient as, or even better than, radiologists to diagnose cancer cases. – AFP
