AI improves precision in breast cancer diagnosis
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have developed an AI-based tool that improves the diagnosis of breast cancer tumours and the ability to predict the risk of recurrence. The greater diagnostic precision can lead to more personalised treatment for the large group of breast cancer patients with intermediate risk tumours. The results are published in the scientific journal Annals of Oncology.Every year, around two million women globally develop breast cancer. In the diagnostic procedure, tissue samples of the tumour are analysed and graded by a pathologist and categorised by risk
