Early cancer detection or prevention

Artificial intelligence in population breast cancer screening: A two-year cost-effectiveness analysis.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the cost-effectiveness of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into breast cancer screening in Australia. Scenario analyses showed AI-supported screening was more effective, though more costly, than standard practice (ICER $1123 per additional cancer detected) and may be cost-effective.
