AI-assisted mammography cuts later breast cancer diagnoses by 12% in large Swedish trial
TL;DR Summary
A Swedish randomized trial of 100,000 women found AI-assisted mammography reduced subsequent cancer diagnoses by 12% and increased cancers detected at screening (81% vs 74%), with 27% fewer aggressive subtypes. The study suggests AI can augment radiologists and improve early detection, but researchers caution it should augment rather than replace clinicians and call for broader validation across regions. The Lancet published the findings.
