AI model indicates four out of ten breast cancer patients could avoid axillary surgery

A project at Lund University in Sweden has trained an AI model to identify breast cancer patients who could be spared from axillary surgery. The model analyzes previously unutilized information in mammograms and pinpoints with high accuracy the individual risk of metastasis in the armpit. A newly completed study shows that the model indicates that just over 40% of today's axillary surgery procedures could be avoided.
