Op-Ed: Using artificial intelligence to diagnose cancer could mean unnecessary treatments (via latimesopinion)
on mammograms than radiologists. Researchers at Google Health teamed up with academic medical centers in the United States and Britain to train an AI system using tens of thousands of mammograms.
To understand why, it helps to have a sense of how AI systems learn. In this case, the system was trained with images labeled as either “cancer” or “not cancer.” From them, it learned to deduce features from the images — such as shape, density and edges — that are associated with the cancer label. — the detection of abnormalities that meet the pathological definition of cancer, yet are not destined to ever cause symptoms or death.— even when presented with the same biopsy specimens under the microscope. The problem is far less for large, obvious cancers — far greater for small , early-stage cancers. That’s because there is a gray area between cancer and not cancer. This has important implications for AI technology used for cancer screening.
The problem is not confined to breast cancer. Overdiagnosis and disagreement over what constitutes cancer are also problems relevant to melanoma, prostate and thyroid cancer. AI systems are already being developed for screening skin moles for melanoma and are likely to be employed in other cancers as well.last month, we proposed a better way of deploying AI in cancer detection.
