Evaluating the Efficacy and Accuracy of AI-Assisted Diagnostic Techniques in Endometrial Carcinoma: A Systematic Review

Ref: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38910646/

The use of AI and its diverse diagnostic methods is arguably one of the most significant advancements in healthcare. The paper titled "Evaluating the Efficacy and Accuracy of AI-Assisted Diagnostic Techniques in Endometrial Carcinoma: A Systematic Review" offers a thorough analysis of existing studies on the application of artificial intelligence in diagnosing endometrial carcinoma. Its primary objective is to assess the effectiveness and accuracy of AI tools when applied to this specific type of cancer.

The review synthesizes data from multiple studies that employ AI algorithms, such as machine learning and deep learning models, in the diagnostic process. These studies were selected based on factors such as sample size, the type of AI model used, and the diagnostic imaging or pathology involved.

Key Findings:

• Efficacy: AI-assisted techniques generally exhibit high efficacy in identifying endometrial carcinoma, often matching or surpassing the accuracy of traditional methods.
• Accuracy: The AI models show strong accuracy, particularly in differentiating between various grades and stages of endometrial carcinoma, which is crucial for treatment planning.
• Advantages: AI tools can quickly process large datasets and detect patterns that might be overlooked by human observers, leading to earlier and potentially more accurate diagnoses.

It is crucial to acknowledge the widespread limitations associated with the use of AI in the healthcare sector, especially those highlighted by the authors:

• The studies reviewed often have small sample sizes and there is considerable variability in the AI models and methodologies used, making it challenging to generalize the findings.
• There is a pressing need for more large-scale studies to validate AI models across diverse populations and settings.
