AI Revolutionizes Lung Cancer Detection

Artificial intelligence is reshaping healthcare as we know it — and lung cancer screening is next in line for a tech-powered upgrade! Leading experts revealed how AI could slash diagnosis times while saving lives at a major medical conference in Beijing.

Dr. He Jianxing, director of the National Center for Respiratory Medicine, told CGTN: \"AI handles repetitive tasks like superhero sidekicks , freeing doctors to tackle complex cases. Think Tony Stark and J.A.R.V.I.S., but for fighting tumors!\"

Key stats hitting harder than a K-pop chorus :

• 1.06M new lung cancer cases in China (2022)
• 1.8M global deaths annually
• 3.3% of Chinese women now smoke vs 1.5% a decade ago

Experts sounded alarms about a worrying TikTok-era trend : young women increasingly viewing cigarettes as fashion accessories. \"We’re racing against cultural shifts,\" warned public health expert Dr. Qiao Youlin.

Meanwhile, China’s medical AI keeps leveling up : The new PathOrchestra model can analyze lung tissue faster than you finish a bubble tea . Developed by top universities and SenseTime, it’s like having 100 radiologists in your pocket!

The revelations came during the 40th anniversary event of the Cancer Foundation of China — proof that when tech meets tenacity, lives get saved . November’s Lung Cancer Awareness Month just got a digital-age makeover!
