AI Helps Detect Breast Cancer Earlier by Analyzing Past Mammograms

New study shows AI helped predict 1/3 of breast cancer cases up to 2 years before diagnosis by analyzing past mammograms.

AI assigned risk scores from 1-10 to screenings; over 38% of cancers later diagnosed scored 10 for high risk.

Early detection with AI could lead to less aggressive treatment and better outcomes.

AI can serve as "second pair of eyes" to help radiologists spot malignancies that may be missed.

AI is promising for cancer screening but should complement, not replace expertise of medical professionals.
