Advancements and limitations in AI for breast cancer and med

Overview

Developments in breast cancer detection involve both large-scale public health screening programs and advancements in artificial intelligence for medical imaging. In Croatia, the National Program for Early Detection of Breast Cancer has provided free annual screenings for women aged 49 to 70 since 2006. Technological research continues to focus on improving diagnostic accuracy and radiologist confidence. Research utilizing the MedSAM model and the CSAW-CC dataset aims to create explainable segmentation tools, while studies involving Greek researchers and Swedish mammogram data have shown AI can identify signs of cancer up to ten years before clinical diagnosis.

Recent research has also expanded the utility of mammography to include cardiovascular health, with deep learning models demonstrating high accuracy in identifying risks for stroke, hypertension, and coronary heart disease.

Newer developments highlight both the practical applications and limitations of medical AI. A study from the Technical University of Munich found that while AI assistance helped radiologists interpret chest X-rays faster and increased confidence, it did not consistently improve overall diagnostic accuracy and occasionally increased false positives. Conversely, the company Vara received Class IIb CE certification for an autonomous triage system that can independently report certain mammograms as normal, aiming to reduce workload in screening programs.

In personalized medicine, researchers at NYU Langone Health developed NYU-DRP, a deep-learning tool that predicts a woman’s five-year breast cancer risk. By analyzing longitudinal 3D mammograms over multiple years, the tool identified high-risk individuals with 72 percent accuracy, outperforming single 3D mammogram analysis and AI-assisted 2D testing.
