AI use to detect cancer and treat is most advance in which nation?

Introduction

The USA had the highest number of publications (1,363) and impact factor (10,233.81) in AI-based tumor research.

Facts

American scholars focus mostly on medical imaging applications of AI for cancer detection.

Professor Albert from the USA is mentioned as a pioneer in AI medical imaging with one of the highest H-indexes, indicating highly cited research.

MIT

MIT scientists developed an AI model called Sybil that can predict a person’s likelihood of developing lung cancer up to six years in advance using low-dose CT scans.

Harvard Medical School

Harvard Medical School researchers, in collaboration with other US institutions, developed an AI tool that successfully identified people at high risk for pancreatic cancer up to three years before diagnosis using only medical records.

Conclusion

While other countries like China, the UK, and Japan are also making significant contributions, the USA seems to be leading in terms of research output, impact, and development of advanced AI tools for cancer detection and treatment.
