New breast cancer treatment trial at UCSF aims to avoid invasive surgery for patients
Waiting and seeing is not often the strategy employed when it comes to treating breast cancer, but a new clinical trial by the University of California, San Francisco, researchers are doing just that.

@ucsfcancer.bsky.social researchers are using AI to speed up the time from a mammogram to cancer diagnosis. In a preprint study, they used AI to flag suspicious mammograms, cutting the average time from mammogram to biopsy from 73 days to just 9. Learn more at @nbcnews.com: ucsfh.org/3JjxXvi
AI mammogram readings are already helping doctors detect breast cancer
Some experts worry about the risk of overdiagnosis of benign conditions and the lack of research showing AI technology actually saves lives.
