CS Pramesh: Beware of the high risks of overdiagnosis
C S Pramesh, Director of the Tata Memorial Hospital and the Professor and Head of Thoracic Surgery at the Tata Memorial Centre, shared a post by Science News, on X, adding:
“While I’m a big fan of technology and AI, also beware the high risks of overdiagnosis by picking up innocuous, non-lethal cancers which are so common with breast cancer.
You can do real harm if your science is not robust.”
Quoting Science News’s post:
”Artificial intelligence detects breast cancer 5 years before it develops.

Researchers at MIT developed a system that uses Artificial Intelligence to help predict future risk of developing breast cancer, reports Poppy Harlow for CNN.
Researchers created a risk-assessment algorithm that shows consistent performance across datasets from US, Europe, and Asia.
AI saved life Elon Musk.
Another Technology to detect breast cancer earlier.
A wearable ultrasound scanner could detect breast cancer earlier.
Using A.I. to Detect Breast Cancer That Doctors Miss.
Hungary has become a major testing ground for A.I. software to spot cancer, as doctors debate whether the technology will replace them in medical jobs.
Doctors using AI catch breast cancer more often than either does alone.
A new study shows that artificial intelligence can also handle more than half of scans automatically, dramatically reducing radiologists’ workloads.”
