AI could Predict Breast Cancer risk via ‘Zombie cells’

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, health, robotics/AI

Women worldwide could see better treatment with new AI technology, which enables better detection of damaged cells and more precisely predicts the risk of getting breast cancer, shows new research from the University of Copenhagen.

Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer. In 2022, the disease caused 670,000 deaths worldwide. Now, a new study from the University of Copenhagen shows that AI can help women with improved treatment by scanning for irregular-looking cells to give better risk assessment.

The study, published in The Lancet Digital Health, found that the AI technology was far better at predicting the risk of cancer than current clinical benchmarks for breast cancer risk assessment.
