AI Screening Cuts Later Breast Cancer Diagnoses by 12%, Study Shows

A Swedish trial found AI-supported breast cancer screening reduced later cancer diagnoses by 12% and improved early detection.
Researchers studied 100,000 women in Sweden who underwent AI-assisted or standard mammography screening.
The AI system flagged high-risk scans and supported radiologists in identifying suspicious findings.
Results published in The Lancet showed higher early detection rates and fewer aggressive cancers.
Experts say AI could ease radiologist workloads but should support, not replace, human expertise.
