AI use in mammography more effective than standard: Results from Sweden’s breast cancer programme

NEW DELHI: (Jan 30) Use of artificial intelligence in Sweden’s national breast cancer screening programme has revealed that AI-supported mammography screening is more effective than standard mammography, according to full results from a 2023 trial published in The Lancet journal.

AI-supported breast cancer screening identified more women with clinically relevant cancers without a higher rate of false positives, the results show.

Researchers from Lund University and other institutes in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands, also found that women who underwent AI-supported screening were less likely to be diagnosed with more aggressive and advanced breast cancer in the following two years.
