Artificial intelligence could help breast screening save more lives

That’s amazing. I am having surgery tomorrow for Ductal Carcinoma In Situ picked up at routine screening. Fabulous news that this can be caught at the right time.

If it helps with getting a better results
I had a lump and thought it was because I had lost weight then put a bit back on I had lost a lot of breast with weight loss but was called for a routine mammogram after the test come back clear I just thought it was fat so thought nothing about it. But when the lump seem to be still there I thought it best to go to the doctors to get it checked out and it was cancer so if I’d had the test done by computer maybe It would have picked it up

Bery good. God bless

Our mum died at 58 so I have done the race for life several times, so as long as it’s done properly I’m all for it

Very informative – good

Good

I did race for life life last year with my sister & friend. Have done for many yrs off and on .but last got no letter saying thanks for support .my 2 sisters have had lung cancer 1 survived.my dad mum cousin have also passed to this disease
I found amount I’d raised in a spam folder .which caused me a lot of annoyance.as you can imagine. My sister and friend received no contact as well .l know in scheme of things this
All sounds pretty.but my work friends had also donated to help make target
So I’m dissatisfied. Sorry for rant

If this method of screening proves useful and sucessful in saving the lives of more women, then I strongly support the research and its findings. Lets hope for government funding to continue to pilot this work.

I think what your planning /doing is superb. However I am a pensioner and already pay out a monthly sum to Hospice. That along with grand children leaves little to take on further tasks. First class, I also agree it’s a way forward. Keep going. Dave

I think this will benefit a lot of people and to save life’s will be amazing

Great news

I’m 73 now and have had cancer twice. Bowel and thyroid. I’m fit as a flea. And I intend to live a very long time 👍

This will improve quality of life. Also will save lives. My Husband died of Brain Cancer and this happened very fast. Over 3 y ears. and I can never get over it

How old u got be to be tested for breast cancer cause my fiance got stage 3 lung cancer tumour on his lung

Think it sounds a really good idea hopefully it won’t be to long before it’s in operation having been through this 5 years ago anything that can free staff to do more important work is brilliant they do an amazing job

Sounds fantastic spotting things early saves lives as we know do good luck with technology if you need volunteers I think a lot of people would offer their breast to help you test x

Great news , it will save life lives.
I have lost 2 friends , and have another one suffering from cancer .
Amazing work by CRUK

Brilliant news as any help to early detection can only be positive

Great anything that can help amazing

I think Ai will be amazing. As long as all the rules and regulations are abided by and aĺ info kept secure.

If this computer truly helps to aid human diagnostic then it could be good. I have just had my mammogram and is reported as normal.

Great news we needed more accurate results
You’re doing a great job

I think it’s absolutly amazing the intelligence to do this and I hope everyone dealing with cancer carry’s on trying and pushing because everything is possible and this will be possible

Good work ,keep it up.

Keep it up !!

Excellent idea

Please use my data. Thank you so much for your great work.

Brilliant agree that’s it bringing technology up to date

Brilliant idea

It’s brilliant news for breast cancer patients, I am one of those patients going through treatment at the moment. All the staff do a brilliant job. This machine hopefully will safe the NHS a lot of time and money and patience will benefit from this.

I think that’s amazing the sooner it’s up and running the better

I think this is amazing it is bringing technology into the 20th century & it is great freeing up time for other things to be carried out

It’s sound’s brilliant onwards an upwards

Great to hear what is going on with these updates with having 2 member of family with cancer good luck 🤗

This is good news. The more technology there is the more tests for breast cancer screening

Great news

Sounds really gòod work.

The data presumably has other circumstantial data associated with it to be of use in the analysis.of type etc

Sounds amazing! Onwards and upwards!

This is wonderful news.maybe then women from 25 years old onwards can have regular mammographies.so important to start these at an earlier age,

Brill news for cancer research

Very interesting and intriguing.

Great news, anything that saves time and money, is accurate and can help save lives must be a good thing.

I don’t think the word ‘anonymised’ should be used. It misleads people into believing data is anonymous when it isn’t.
And surely more than just images are past to Google as well? It isn’t going to learn by just having an image – surely some other data is passed to them too?
Are patients advised that their data/images are being used for research?
Are patients’ wishes respected if they don’t want to participate?

I think we are starting to realize it is very beneficial for human beings and computers can work together for good. This is great research!

The use of technology like AI is just whats needed, however I think the data needs to be further verified to make sure that a negative screen result didn’t turnout positive because something was misinterpreted, so patient records need to be double checked. A computer programme is only as good as the data that as been input.
I do think that the mammogram machine needs modifying something like computer arms to be used to take 3 D imaging instead of pressing the breast between two plates, therefore create breast cup that can be adjusted in size to suit the breast and the cup is then place around the breast then the x-ray is taken.
My wife had a recurrence of breast cancer after 20 + years and 12 months previous her mammogram was negative, 12 months later she found a lump that was positive, she was devastated

Any improvement in detection is always a winner now for a cure!

I think this is wonderful news ! This is definitely the way forward and is reassuring for women of all ages. Huge thanks to Prof Young and everyone involved !!

I think this is fantastic news and anything that improves breast screening gets the thumbs up from me it is good to know that it can save more lives especially save money from the NHS and time fantastic e mail cancer research UK you are fantastic my breast cancer was found by me having a ct scan for having a chest infection if hadn’t of been for a general practitioner I would have never know I had got breast cancer I have had a mastectomy and 6 weeks of radiotherapy, now I have lymphoedema and emphysema maybe if I would have had this it would have been picked up earlier I’m on anastrazole medication and have gone 2 yrs in remission only have 3 more to go then 6 without medication I am trying to stay positive but it is very hard as I’m 65 and have lots of my friends that have secondary breast cancer just hope that I get the absolute clear only time will tell

I found this article interesting in the new developments in breast cancer as I had this disease myself a few years ago and follow information on this particular cancer with interest.

Brilliant idea in using more modern technology

This has great potential to assist in diagnosis but we must make sure that having helped Google with this technology that we are not held ransom by their copyright and costs in the future. Joint copyright must be essential when our NHS data is handed over to private companies.

Having suffered from Stage 3 breast cancer HER2 Positive I think anything especially this type of cancer detection is a great step forward

Very thorough report, easy to understand and very informative. The future of AI is promising a great move forward for the Doctors and Scientists in the NHS.

Excellent. Anything that can help breast cancer get detected sooner or more accurately would be wonderful. Earlier beast screening would be very beneficial. My daughter died of breast cancer at the age of 36 in 2005. I was diagnosed in 2017 but have made a good recovery. Things have definitely improved.

Can’t you change the way mammograms are done in the first place? It’s SO PAINFUL/UNCOMFORTABLE to hv to shove one’s boob between the ‘plates’ even for a few seconds… 😥😥😥 surely in this day and age of technology someone cd design a nicer machine…. That also goes for cervical smears HORRENDOUS!! Worst thing that’s ever happened to me (or NOT, as it’s too painful to go through).

Very interesting.

Wonderful news! It is very reassuring to know that this level of research is going on. From a personal point of view, now that I am 63 years old, I hope that this might mean that women of my age can still get some form of breast screening.

I think this is a wonderful break through using A.I.to detect cancers in the breast,& a wonderful help to the radiologists. It’s definitely the thing of the future in medicine & many other areas. With the dedicated work of the research team i’m sure a cure for cancer is that not too far away!

It is both reassuring and inspiring to know that so much work, time and effort is going in to help fight this awful disease. Huge thanks for all that you are doing.

The concept is amazing. Another big step forward for science in tackling cancer.

This is great news , another fantastic tool in the fight against cancer – keep up the great work, it is much needed and much valued, thank you so much x
