My people, dem don show say AI dey help plenty for breast cancer detection, no be small matter o!
New study wey foreign scientists do, na im confirm say AI go fit spot cancers as e dey happen for mammograms. E dey cut down how many women go get breast cancer after dem don do screening before by 12%. This matter no be joke, as wetin dem find out fit change how we dey approach breast cancer detection.
The trial happen for Sweden, dem involve over 100,000 women dem wey get breast screening from April 2021 to December 2022. Dem separate the women into two groups – one wey dey use AI to help detect any wahala, and another group wey do the old style – where two radiologists dey check the results without AI help.
Wetin dem find out, e show say 81% of the cancers for the AI group catch am during screening, compared to 74% wey dey for the other group. You fit see say the AI dey do work, as dem no increase false positives, e remain the same for both groups.
Lead author for the study, Dr. Kristina Lång from Lund University, talk say this discovery go help radiologists ease their workload and also make dem catch breast cancers when e still dey early stage. She also caution say we gatz use AI properly, we no fit let am just dey replace humans o!
And as we no dey joke with matters wey concern our health, experts like Dr Sowmiya Moorthie from Cancer Research UK also dey talk say this finding na good news but research still dey needed more. Na so we go fit confirm say AI go really help prevent breast cancer for our women.
Na wetin make sense be say, with this AI technology, early detection fit lead to better treatment, and we fit reduce the number of women wey dey die from breast cancer wey dey increase every year. Globally, over 2.3 million women dey diagnosed with breast cancer every year and na serious issue be that we gatz address.
For places like India, where breast cancer dey common pass, this trial fit help correct imbalance wey dey between urban and rural areas, where some people no even sabi how to check themselves. With proper implementation, AI fit standardise screening quality and help more women catch any signs early.
So, my people, make we dey follow this gist closely. The way AI dey enter healthcare, e fit change game for breast cancer detection completely. We gatz support research and make sure say this new technology dey work for everybody!
