New Artificial Intelligence Tool Can Accurately Identify Cancer
New Artificial Intelligence Tool Can Accurately Identify Cancer
Exclusive: algorithm performs more efficiently and effectively than current methods, according to a study
BBC News 2 MAY 2023
Lung cancer is the biggest worldwide cause of cancer death, and accounts for 21% of cancer deaths in the UK.
Algorithm performs more efficiently and effectively than current methods, according to a study
Doctors, scientists and researchers have built an artificial intelligence model that can accurately identify cancer in a development they say could speed up diagnosis of the disease and fast-track patients to treatment.
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. It results in about 10 million deaths annually, or nearly one in six deaths, according to the World Health Organization. In many cases, however, the disease can be cured if detected early and treated swiftly.
The AI tool designed by experts at the Royal Marsden NHS foundation trust, the Institute of Cancer Research, London, and Imperial College London can identify whether abnormal growths found on CT scans are cancerous.
The algorithm performs more efficiently and effectively than current methods, according to a study. The findings have been published in the Lancet’s eBioMedicine journal.
