AI breakthrough could speed up lung cancer diagnosis – and save the NHS millions

AI breakthrough could speed up lung cancer diagnosis – and save the NHS millions More than 60,000 people a year could be spared the prolonged stress of unnecessary tests for lung cancer after a breakthrough in diagnosis using artificial intelligence.

The development also has the potential to eliminate about 3,300 unnecessary biopsies a year and to speed up diagnosis in a further 3,400 patients that do have the disease, potentially saving the NHS millions of pounds a year, researchers say. iNews
