AI Screening Could Detect Breast Cancer Signs Up to Six Years Early, Massive Swedish Study Finds
A Swedish study of 88,963 mammograms from over 31,000 women shows AI-based screening can flag mammographic signs of breast cancer years before radiologists diagnose it, with higher AI scores in those later diagnosed. The three AI-CAD systems achieved about 90% specificity and identified cancers six years before diagnosis in ~20% of participants, four years prior in ~25%, and two years prior in ~40%, suggesting AI could enable earlier intervention.
