A Swedish trial found AI-supported breast screening cut later cancer diagnoses by 12% and improved early detection.
Researchers studied 100,000 women using AI-assisted mammography between 2021 and 2022.
The system helped radiologists prioritise high-risk scans and flag suspicious findings.
More cancers were detected during screening, with fewer aggressive tumours identified later.
The study, published in The Lancet, suggests AI can safely support radiologists.
Experts from Cancer Research UK urged careful rollout and further trials.
Breast Cancer Now said AI could improve and save lives if properly evaluated.
