2024年10月21日 · Scientists working to improve the treatment and diagnosis of cancer are beginning to use AI, DNA sequencing and precision oncology among other techniques. A new trial giving cervical cancer patients a short course of chemotherapy before starting the standard treatment has cut the risk of death by 40%.

2019年4月30日 · The Economist Intelligence Unit’s new Index of Cancer Preparedness investigated the state of readiness in 28 countries for what it terms “the global epidemic of cancer”. Although high-income countries have the most cases of cancer, it warns that low- and middle-income nations will see the fastest spread of the disease.

2024年11月22日 · A cancer vaccine could have a vastly significant impact worldwide. Overall, 10,000 people could receive bespoke cancer treatments on the UK National Health Service, the world’s largest publicly funded health service, by 2030. This would mark a major step towards dramatically reducing cancer rates worldwide in the coming decades.

2024年11月29日 · Low- and middle-income countries face a disproportionately high burden of non-communicable diseases, including lung cancer. Lung cancer claims over 1.8 million lives each year, so it's crucial to rethink how the disease is screened and diagnosed. The Malaysian Ministry of Health is leading a global effort to transform lung cancer outcomes.

2020年1月23日 · At each stage, this collaboration can help ensure trials advance in a timely manner, reflect diverse populations, and provide access to a wider spectrum of people living with cancer. While obstacles remain, collaborative efforts, such as Cancer Breakthroughs 2020 (formerly known as Cancer Moonshot 2020), have blazed trails.

2017年9月14日 · The study is still in its early stages, but researchers are optimistic it has the potential to lead to new types of cancer treatment. Dr Robert Pal, of Durham University, said: “Once developed, this approach could provide a potential step change in noninvasive cancer treatment and greatly improve survival rates and patient welfare globally.”

2024年9月17日 · High-income countries with established cervical cancer screening programmes have significantly reduced incidence and mortality rates, making the case for high-quality screening, timely treatment and follow-up care are effective in reducing cervical cancer cases.

2024年1月17日 · Potential for bias is of particular concern: if an AI algorithm is trained with data that doesn’t represent the whole population, it can exacerbate health disparities. For instance, skin cancer algorithms that were primarily trained on lighter-skinned individuals are not as effective in detecting skin cancer among darker-skinned individuals ...

2023年2月22日 · In breast cancer, AI is enabling mammograms to be reviewed 30 times faster with almost 100% accuracy, reducing the need for biopsies. Meanwhile, a deep-learning algorithm developed by health-tech company Qure.ai is enabling the early detection of lung cancer .

2024年9月25日 · When breast cancer is detected at stage one, the five-year survival rate is over 90%. Colorectal cancer yields a 14% five-year survival rate when diagnosed in later stages but can be around 90% with early diagnosis. Therefore, the impact of AI-driven diagnostics on health outcomes cannot be overstated.
