Dutch scientists from the University of Amsterdam Medical Center developed an advanced algorithm based on artificial intelligence (AI). It can detect symptoms of lung cancer four months before the diagnosis. The study was published scientifically broadcasting Journal of British General Application (BJGP).
The new technology analyzes the entire history of the patient’s disease, including unconfigured notes of general practitioners.
The algorithm, hidden patterns in the notes of doctors and “worrying signals” occur. This allows you to diagnose the disease in advance during the planned application.
According to the authors of development, 62% of cancer can be detected much faster. This will significantly reduce mortality due to late diagnosis-80% of patients died over the year.
“Even four weeks of early diagnosis improve prognosis – so four months can save thousands of lives,” he said.
Technology has already been tested in 525526 patients, including 2,386 lung cancer. Now researchers are working on the adaptation of the algorithm for different health systems.
EARLY IN Russia taught AI at an early stage to identify brain cancer.
