What AI mammogram readings could do for women

Breast cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death among women in the US.  I am a breast cancer patient, two years out from diagnosis, and that statistic pulls me up sharp. I suck in my breath and hold it, in fear. To have breast cancer means to fear dying. But having it detected earlier, rather than later, usually yields a better prognosis. The news, then, that artificial intelligence can read mammograms better than radiologists is welcome, but placing that news in the context of breast cancer screening and treatment shows its importance to patients.
