Story summary

Dr. Rachel Brem, director of George Washington University's Breast Imaging and Intervention Center, discusses the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in early breast cancer detection on CBS News' "Healthful" segment. Early detection of breast cancer leads to a 99% survival rate, according to Dr. Brem. AI paired with mammograms can identify warning signs up to five years earlier than traditional methods alone. Dr. Brem also founded the Brem Foundation to advance breast cancer prevention and screening technologies like Transpara, developed in collaboration with ScreenPoint Medical. These innovations aim to improve early detection rates and save more lives.
