With the artificial intelligence (IA) breast cancer could be detected with 5 years in advancebefore it begins to develop.
Using AI, researchers at MIT and Massachusetts General Hospital worked to develop a model that could predict breast cancer before the disease manifests itself.
The researchers tested the technology with data from 2009 to 2012 that came from 90,000 mammograms of more than 6,000 patients at Massachusetts General Hospital.
The artificial intelligence system detected subtle patterns that could not be identified by humans in the breast tissues, thereby predicting the possibilities of cancer development.
With this advance it would be possible to personalize treatments and follow-ups that would be adapted to the needs and risks of each patient.
This advance is effective in both black and white women, addressing racial disparities in cancer detection.

AI predicted 30% of cases of patients at high risk
Artificial intelligence predicted 31 percent of cases in high-risk patients, which means a significant improvement in disease prevention, as previous traditional techniques could only predict 18 percent of these cases.
The researchers hope to bring this approach to other diseases and thus revolutionize early diagnosis and medical care.
