Jul 22, 2024, 11:03 AM

Artificial intelligence (AI) is making significant strides in the field of cancer diagnosis and treatment. In England, general practitioners (GPs) have utilized an AI-powered tool called 'C the Signs' to increase cancer detection rates by a remarkable 8%. This tool scans medical records to identify patterns that may be missed by human doctors, enabling faster and earlier diagnoses. Additionally, three UK-based hospital systems are conducting live clinical trials of Paige's AI technology, which aims to enhance prostate cancer diagnostics. This study, known as ARTICULATE PRO, is evaluating how AI can improve clinical decision-making, pathology service delivery, and resource utilization in live clinical settings.
