Since the release of ChatGPT, artificial intelligence (AI) has been on the rise and playing an increasingly important role in many areas of life. As a new study shows, AI will also revolutionize cancer research.
The technology for early detection of skin cancer is getting better and better. The hit rate is now almost 100 percent, according to the research presented in 2023 at the congress of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology. Bild reports this.
189 of 190 cases detected
According to the scientists, the software program examined 22,356 patients with suspected skin cancer over a two-and-a-half year period – and achieved a hit rate of 99.5 percent. The system recognized 189 out of 190 cases of skin cancer. Precancerous lesions such as precancerous lesions and cases of melanoma have also not escaped the system.
By comparison, the first AI model tested in 2021 detected only 83.8 percent of skin cancer cases. “Our research has shown how AI is improving and learning rapidly, with high levels of accuracy that can be directly attributed to improvements in AI training techniques and the quality of the data used to train AI,” said Kashini Andrew, consultant at University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust. and lead author of the study, told the paper.
Doctors have time for urgent cases
Advances in the software would significantly benefit other patients. According to Andrew, more than 1,000 in-person secondary care doctor visits were saved between April 2022 and January 2023. “This gave us more time for patients who need urgent attention.”
However, the researchers emphasize that the software cannot replace a dermatologist. Nevertheless, AI will play an increasingly important role in medicine. In September, another study concluded that the AI text program ChatGPT makes a correct diagnosis more often than doctors. (dzc)
