Doctors are using artificial intelligence to step up the war against lung cancer.
. “The AI that we developed is looking at the scan in a completely different way than a human radiologist looks at it.”
Low-dose chest computed tomography has lowered death from lung cancer up to 24%. But often, lung cancer isn’t spotted until it has progressed too far. “Lung cancer rates continue to rise among people who have never smoked or who haven’t smoked in years, suggesting that there are many risk factors contributing to lung cancer risk, some of which are currently unknown,” Sequist said in a“Instead of assessing individual environmental or genetic risk factors, we’ve developed a tool that can use images to look at collective biology and make predictions about cancer risk.
The U.S. Preventive Service Task Force recommends annual LDCTs for some long-term smokers over 50 or those who have quit within 15 years, the hospital says. But less than 10 percent of eligible patients are screened annually.: “Sybil: A Validated Deep Learning Model to Predict Future Lung Cancer Risk From a Single Low-Dose Chest Computed Tomography”
