图像深度学习风险模型优于传统临床工具,AI辅助阅片可维持或轻度提高癌症检出并减少约40-50%放射科医生工作量;对低风险组延长筛查间隔须仅在严格监测的前瞻性研究中实施。

要点

  • AI辅助阅片可维持或轻度提高癌症检出,同时减少约40-50%放射科医生工作量。
  • 图像深度学习风险模型优于传统临床风险工具,可将未来癌症富集于小的高风险分层。
  • 对低风险组延长筛查间隔须仅在严格监测的前瞻性研究中实施,并预设安全与公平性审计。

核心结论

  • AI是个性化乳腺X线筛查的可信促进因素,近期最成熟用途为识别最高短期风险女性以加强监测和通过AI辅助阅片优化工作流程。

诊断标准与关键数值

  • 图像深度学习风险模型持续优于传统临床风险工具,并在小的高风险分层中富集未来癌症,包括近期验证中表现为间期癌的癌症。
  • 前瞻性试验和真实世界实施表明,AI辅助阅片可维持或轻度提高癌症检出,同时减少放射科医生工作量约40-50%。
  • 决策分析模型提示AI驱动的风险分层策略可能具有成本效益,但依赖假设且缺乏长期终点的前瞻性确认。

临床应用与阅片要点

  • 日常可优先将AI用于识别最高短期风险女性以加强监测,以及AI辅助阅片优化工作流程。
  • 对低风险组延长筛查间隔须仅在严格监测的前瞻性研究中实施,并预设安全、公平性审计和治理保障。

局限性

  • 关键证据缺口包括缺乏前瞻性证明依据AI风险采取行动可减少间期癌/晚期癌症、亚组公平性性能、可解释性和治理。
  • 决策分析模型的成本效益结论依赖假设,缺乏长期终点的前瞻性确认。

BACKGROUND: Conventional age-based breast cancer screening ignores substantial inter-individual risk variation, contributing to overdiagnosis, false positives, and missed opportunities for earlier detection in high-risk women. Mammography-based artificial intelligence (AI) may enable risk-stratified screening and more efficient workflows.

PURPOSE: To systematically review evidence on mammography-based AI for personalized breast cancer screening, covering risk prediction, detection/triage, decision support, and associated ethical, economic, and equity implications.

METHODS: We searched MEDLINE/PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library (January 2015-November 2025) for studies evaluating AI-enabled personalization in breast cancer screening. Two reviewers independently screened 612 records, assessed 77 full texts, and included 30 studies; data were synthesized narratively.

RESULTS: Image-based deep-learning risk models consistently outperformed traditional clinical risk tools and enriched future cancers within small high-risk strata, including cancers presenting as interval cancers in recent validations. Prospective trials and real-world implementations indicate that AI-supported reading can maintain or modestly improve cancer detection while reducing radiologist workload by roughly 40-50%. Decision-analytic models suggest that AI-enabled risk-stratified policies may be cost-effective but rely on assumptions and lack prospective confirmation of long-term endpoints. Key evidence gaps include prospective demonstration that acting on AI-derived risk reduces interval/advanced cancers, subgroup equity performance, explainability, and governance.

CONCLUSIONS: AI is a credible enabler of personalized mammography screening, with the most mature near-term use cases being identification of women at highest short-term risk for intensified surveillance and workflow optimization via AI-supported reading. Interval extension for low-risk groups should be implemented only within carefully monitored pilots and prospective outcome studies, with predefined safety, equity audits, and governance safeguards.
