AI could monitor breast cancer

CHENNAI: Statistics show that about 40,000 women die in a year because of breast cancer, which is one in every 13 minutes a day. The importance of detecting the disease with the help of Artificial Intelligence is the need of the hour. Cautioning that breast cancer has become the most common disease among women both in the developed and the developing countries in the world in the past few years, Subash Kumar, a Computer Science Engineering graduate with around 12 years of experience in the field of data science, Artificial Intelligence machine learning- deep learning, from Chennai, claims that he has developed an easy way of detecting and curing the same. The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) machine learning technology with deep learning algorithms to whole-slide pathology images can potentially improve the diagnostic accuracy of breast cancer at a very early stage. Some scholars have assessed the performance of automated deep learning algorithms at detecting metastases in the tissue of women with breast cancer and compared results with pathologists' diagnoses.
