In 2020, there were more than 210,000 new breast cancer diagnoses in Latin America and the Caribbean with almost 68,000 deaths.
The term artificial intelligence refers to a model created to solve a specific problem or provide a particular service.
By 2023, it is expected that there will be an increase in the value of the AI market of 165 billion dollars.
Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide and according to the World Health Organization (WHO), it is the deadliest for women, and that is, despite medical advances, it continues to be difficult to detect breast cancer in its early stages. However, thanks to technological advances in artificial intelligence (AI), a step forward is being taken in the early detection of breast cancer, since with the help of this technology it could be detected up to 5 years before it develops, which could prevent the disease from developing until it became incurable, because when the breast cancer If it is detected early, the chances of a cure are usually very high, on the contrary, if it is detected late it is rare that any curative treatment can be offered.
AI today
It has been seen in recent days that the intelligence artificial It has advanced rapidly, giving rise to new forms of interaction between people and machines. It is clear that this technology will be crucial to help with medical issues, even the businessman Bill Gates pointed out that in this way we could use it totally to our advantage. AI refers to the ability of machines to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence. This includes machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, and robotics, among other fields. To do this, it is based on algorithms that allow machines to learn and improve through experience and data.
AI will be able to detect breast cancer years before it develops
It is evident that artificial intelligence (AI) is in full swing, and it is that in recent years, it has been transforming many aspects of daily life and certainly health issues have not been the exception, as it is being used to improve medical care through more diagnostic precise, as well as in the personalization of treatments. Machine learning algorithms can analyze vast amounts of medical and genetic data to identify patterns and predict disease.
Thanks to technological advances in AI, A very important step has been taken in health issues, since the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has conducted research and thereby developed AI-powered technology that is capable of detecting the presence of cancer cells in breast tissues before they develop into visible tumors. According to the researchers, the system is capable of detecting breast cancer up to four or five years before it becomes visible on a standard mammogram, this in a more precise way since there are usually confusions in mammograms that sometimes give false results. positive or negative.
This system was tested on a group of patients and found to be capable of detecting breast cancer with an accuracy of 94.5 percent.
The MIT study was published in the scientific journal ‘Radiology‘, where it was reported that the researchers used mammographic images of more than 60,000 patients to train the AI system.
