Abstract

Background: Breast cancer is the one of the main causes of deaths among women worldwide.

Objective: The study aims to evaluate the implication of AI technologies in improving the diagnosis of breast cancer within the Pakistani healthcare system.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from June to December 2023, involving 380 physicians through a convenience sampling technique. Participants were recruited via a Google Drive questionnaire. The study received ethical approval, and all participants provided informed consent. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 23 for descriptive statistical analysis.

Results: The questionnaire was emailed to a total of 380 physicians. Out of which 106 (27.8%) participants agreed that the implication of AI in breast cancer would benefit their field of expertise moderately whereas 121 (31%) expected this improvement to be significant. Almost 153 (40%) respondents cited 'quick diagnosis' as the most significant benefit of AI.

Conclusion: Artificial intelligence has revolutionized breast cancer management by enhancing early diagnosis, diagnostic accuracy, risk assessment, personalized treatments, and predictive analytics.
