A Swedish trial found artificial intelligence in breast cancer screening cut later cancer diagnoses by 12% and boosted early detection.
Researchers studied 100,000 women in Sweden who underwent mammography between 2021 and 2022.
Women receiving AI-supported screening showed fewer cancers diagnosed after screening than those reviewed only by radiologists.
The AI system flagged high-risk cases and supported doctors by highlighting suspicious findings.
More than 80% of cancers in the AI group were detected early, compared with 74% in standard screening.
The study, published in The Lancet, suggests AI could ease radiologist workloads while improving detection.
Researchers stressed AI should support, not replace, human clinicians.
