AI Models Predict Lung Cancer Risk Using Less Data, Simplifying Screening
-
Artificial intelligence models predicted lung cancer risk as well as or better than existing models using just 3 variables age, years smoked, cigarettes per day.
-
Study found AI could simplify lung cancer screening at the population level during routine doctor visits or via apps.
-
Early lung cancer detection improves outcomes; targeted screening programs starting in UK and EU.
-
Machine learning tools like AutoPrognosis combined with clinicians can impact healthcare.
-
Retrospective data limitations mean more regions should be considered.
