- Study Finds Robots can Detect Breast Cancer as well as Radiologists – ehealthnews.eu – 05/03/19
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, and despite important improvements in therapy, it is still a major cause for cancer-related mortality, accounting for approximately 500,000 annual deaths worldwide. Breast cancer screening programs using mammography are effective in reducing breast cancer-related mortality.
