New AI Tool Could Boost the Early Detection of Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-linked fatalities among men and women, and survival beyond five years post-diagnosis is minimal. This is largely because most cases are detected when they are already advanced. Scientists are therefore searching for ways to boost early detection so that treatment outcomes can improve and survival can increase. A new study seems to have found a way to use AI to improve the early detection of this disease. This tool could be especially helpful in flagging lung cancer when tumors are still small and are harder to detect using the existing diagnostic tools. These existing tools, such as CT scans, have…
