Colon mirroring with AI: Colon cancer recognize early - experts rely on artificial intelligence to optimize precaution

The future of colon cancer screening is the focus of a new development that revolutionizes colonoscopy with the help of artificial intelligence (AI). By using AI, doctors can recognize and treat cancer precursors such as polyps during colonoscopy. This progress also has local effects because the Helios Clinics in Leipzig and Wiesbaden have already successfully used AI in colonoscopy.

colon cancer is the third most common type of cancer in women and men and can be recognized and treated early by regular preventive examinations. Polyps that are preliminary stages of colon cancer can grow unnoticed over years and develop into cancer. The colonoscopy, also called colonoscopy, is crucial for the early detection of polyps.

The AI software used during the intestinal mirroring recognizes striking polyps faster in the intestinal mucosa in the intestinal mucosa than the human eye. The doctors are supported by the AI to identify and specifically treat cancer precursors. Studies have shown that the AI support leads to a higher detection rate of cancer precursors.

The Helios Clinics in Leipzig and Wiesbaden already use Ki routinely in colonoscopy and have found that the use of AI improves the quality of the preventive examinations. March is characterized by colon cancer screening to raise public awareness of the prevention and early detection of colon cancer.

In Germany, around 23,000 people die from colon cancer annually and there are around 55,000 new cases. Colon cancer prevention is recommended for men from the age of 50 and from the age of 55 for women. People with family preload should be examined from the age of 40. The colonoscopy is the safest way to identify colon cancer at an early stage.

The Helios clinics rely on high medical quality and transparency of the data. In Germany, Helios has more than 80 clinics and treats around 5.5 million people annually. The integration of AI into colon cancer screening is an important step to improve the detection of cancer precursors and optimize the treatment results.
