Clinical Focus Dialogue: AI in Mammography: Leveling the Playing Field for Global Disparities
In her keynote talk Prof. Dr. Rachel Brem (George Washington University, Washington/USA) reviews the impact of Artificial intelligence (AI) in cancer detection as well as compares AI to radiologist interpretation with 2D and 3D mammograms.
Hello, my name is Doctor Rachel Brem. I'm the director of breast imaging and intervention at the George Washington University and the co-founder and the medical director of the Brem Foundation to defeat breast cancer. I'm delighted to be here today to share in the clinical focus dialogue and I have the privilege to share with you today some data and my thoughts about artificial intelligence in mammography and how we can use that robust technology to level the playing field of global disparities. So, mammography is an excellent examination. It's resulted in a significant portion of the 40% reduction in breast cancer mortality of that we've seen in the United States over the past two decades. And we've seen a significant impact of mammography on mortality reduction. But it's an imperfect examination. Only 85% of breast cancers are seen. Mammographic Lee today and in women with dense breast tissue up to 50% of breast cancers can be missed. In addition, there are a lot of issues with mortality reduction, in that it is unequal among different populations, with the mortality reduction in the United States. For Black American women being 40% lower, so there are problems with mammography. One is with access, not every woman has access to mammography, and it is an imperfect examination. Not only do we not see all mammograms at all cancers at the time that we interpret, but studies have shown us that if we look at the. Mammograms of women who are diagnosed with breast cancer. One year, two years and some. Earlier we can find evidence of that cancer that was not actionable and not seen by radiologists. So we have some challenges that we have to deal with. So why are we looking at AI to help us with these challenges? Because we need more help in being more accurate in mammographic interpretation and doing so in less time. We have to harness the enormous amount of genomic information that exists in mammograms to allow for accurate individualized risk based assessment and perhaps screening. Protocols as well and we have to increase the availability of not only mammography but high quality mammography and mammographic interpretation in the United States and globally to further improve the outcomes from breast cancer. And we really need to do that if you look at the world map in the top cancers. In women, you see that this pink that breast cancer overwhelms the map except for a few countries in Africa, one country in South America and Australia. Which has a very high incidence of skin cancer. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the world globally. If you look at the incidence rates you see very interestingly what we've known for some time, which is in the Western countries in Western Europe, and in the developed countries and Canada and the United States and in Australia, the incidence of breast cancer is the highest, but when we look at the mortality map around the map around the world, we see something that's really very disheartening, and that is in the areas in the developed world where breast cancer. Has the highest incidence. It has the lowest mortality rates and in those countries in Africa where we have relatively low rates of breast cancer, we see very high mortality rates and if you look at the two maps side by side, it's really very stark because here you see lower incidence, higher mortality, higher incidence in the in Canada and North America, and lower mortality and so clearly this is emblematic of the disparities. In health care in breast cancer around the globe. So clearly we see this disparity and how can we address these disparities? Well, we need to deal with the most limited resource which is human resources. I've actually spoken to some of the leadership in in healthcare in Africa. They can get machines, but they can't get our people, radiologists, physicians to interpret those images. And how do we leverage this technology to address? This clinical need, how do we optimize the radiologists we have by minimizing the time it takes to accurately and interpret mammograms and decrease the differential in the worldwide training and specialization? And how do we answer the critical radiologist breast imaging shortage? And this isn't only something in the world, it's here in our country, in the United States as well. If you look at the city patterns of screening mammography uptake. It is not universal. In New England you see the highest uptake on the coasts. Both coasts. The uptake is highest, and here in the mountain regions we see the lowest uptake of screening mammography in those regions where there isn't a mammographic center or a breast imaging center on every corner and where the population is much more rural and less dense. And then when we look at ethnic differences, black women have a 36% higher age dust digested breast cancer death rate in the United States than white women and the relative risk of death in black and non Hispanic blacks is 71% higher. So we clearly have disparities that we have to address and consider. Black Race is generally correlated with lower socioeconomic levels. In the United States and what that translates to is reduced access to quality health care and the same thing is true in terms of socioeconomic for you United States, let Latin X Hispanics, and yet Hispanics with breast cancer have a prognosis that's better than even Caucasian Americans. Now we really have to think about mammography not just as mammography, but as high quality mammography. And this is really emblematic by the Metropolitan Chicago Breast Cancer Task Force. This was initiated in 2008, and it was due to marked health care disparities that we're seeing in death rates in Chicago with huge variations in fragmentation of care, particularly in Chicago, Southside and what they did is that they developed a large, patient navigation system where women in the South side of Chicago were sent. Not to mammography centers, but to mammography centers of excellence and to care for their breast cancer. Not at any local area, but NCI designated cancer centers. It was previously called the Metropolitan Chicago Breast Cancer Task Force, now called Equal Hope, and it continues to go on. But the reason it was established is because between 2005 and 2007, black women in Chicago died of breast cancer at a rate 62% higher than white women. And they found that this was due to structural racism, not biological differences, because similar findings were not true in other cities that had large African American populations like New York and San Francisco. And what did they find after they initiated this program? When they looked at the disparity in breast cancer mortality among African Americans in the ten largest cities with African Americans, they found that there was an increase between 1999 and 2013 everywhere except Chicago. Where this navigation system was initiated and they found that it wasn't just availability of care, but we really have to think about availability of quality of care, because that's really what's going to make the difference and can AI elevate the quality of mammographic interpretation consistently, both in the United States and globally. And that's what we're going to talk about today, and we know that in the United States, Black American women have a lower use of 3D mammography. The latest technology. There's a longer time from the time of diagnosis to the initiation of treatment. There are few ACR centers, American College of Radiology Centers of Excellence in underserved communities that are more frequently predominantly black and fewer black women in clinical trials so we can harness their protein. The genomic information to develop targeted therapy. And black women have higher recurrence rate as noted by their Oncotype DX. So what's the opportunity for AI? It has the opportunity in the potential to improve the accuracy and decrease the variability of the interpretations, both geographically and to bring general radiologists up to the level of performance of subspecialized breast imagers. Mammography has a substantial false negative rate, false positive rate, and perhaps a I can impact that as well. Can AI help us to triage cases by their complexity and to serve as a secondary there in the European trials or screening programs that require a second reader? And can I allow us to have the same number of radiologists, but who can do more in the same amount of time by decreasing the interpretation time? And what about standalone AI? Maybe not in the US, but what about in Africa? If most mammograms will never pass humanize. So that we might be able to really screen larger numbers of women. And what about risk assessment with that deep and rich genomic proteomic information in a womans mammogram? And can we actually move risk assessment from population based like we do in the risk assessment programs that we have now to oh specific womans risk assessment by what's in her individual mammogram? So briefly? AI is machine learning its computers to mimic human cognition. Machine learning uses statistical models that are trained on available datasets and deep learning is a process where the computer continues to learn based on what it's seen. It's ongoing learning and the computer continually teaches itself the feedback to improve. So let's ask, can AI help us with radiologist accuracy? So here's the study that was published looking at 242 D mammograms, 100 cancers, 40 false positives and 100 normals. They were interpreted by 14 radiologists, initially with out and then with AI using transpara by screen point and the outcomes were what you would expect. They were looking at the area under the curve. Specificity, sensitivity and reading time. And here you see the performance of the radiologist versus the performance of the radiologist plus AI. The yellow being unaided, the blue with AI support. And there was a statistically significant improvement in the area under the curve. When radiologists interpret mammograms with AI. Now this dashed blue line is the performance of transparent at the time that the study I just shared with you is done. But with time this is continually improving and this solid line is more indicative of the performance of this AI program currently. What about what about AI with 3D with Tomo? With tomosynthesis and again a study looking at 240 digital breast tomosynthesis that were read by without AI and with AI by 18 radiologists. And here you can see that the performance of the radiologists improved with AI so it improved in 2D and it improved in 3D. In another study by another group, you can see the same thing that not only was there improvement in performance or the area under the curve with AI, the sensitivity improved the specificity improved. The recall rate decreased, and the reading time decreased and you can see that there was a in this study, statistically significant increase in sensitivity and a trend towards improving. A positive improvement in specificity as well now being a radiologist, I can't do this talk without at least showing you one case and here it is where you can see a mammogram, where the AI transpara found a cancer that was missed by the majority of very highly trained breast imagers. So yes, and I can't improve the accuracy of interpretation of mammography, both 2D and 3D, and even experienced breast imagers had an improvement in sensitivity, but the improvement was greater with general radiologists. What about reading time and hearing a study using an AI using transparent? You can see that there was a marked reduction in reading time in six out of 10 breast imagers. And it was interesting that for the less complex cases, the improvement in time of interpretation was greater. So it turned out that on average it took 35 seconds to read the screening 3D mammogram with this AI. And other AI's have shown similar things in a substantial reduction in interpretation time, with AI of 52% by Doctor Conant, who reported her data. So yes, there is a significant reduction in time for interpretation of both 2D and 3D mammograms. The decrease in time for interpretation with AI is greatest for the least experienced radiologists, but even experienced radiologists have a reduction, and it's great that reduction in time is greatest with lower complexity cases, which is most of mammography which will allow to allow us to go through screening mammography even quicker and more availability of radiologist to interpret mammography. What about disparity in interpretation? So not everybody interprets the same. We know, and increasingly, learning that there is a lot of variability in interpretation. Most mammograms they netted States and globally are interpreted by general radiologists. This year there was a very interesting study that was published by Doctor Moy and her colleagues looking at the radiologist characteristics associated with performance of screening mammography using a large national database, and they found large variability in mammographic interpretation in the Midwest and West. Radiologists perform better than in the northeast. Women perform better than men. Academic radiologists performed better than non academic radiologists. Breast imagers performed substantially better than general radiologists. And those in practice, more time were performed better than those that were in practice less time. So we see a lot of image variability and then that it States and you can only imagine with the various global difference in. In a in interpretation and in training that that would even be more so. Now look at this. This is really quite extraordinary if you look at the acceptable cancer detection rate and the acceptable PV. Two recommendations for biopsy. You can see that only 77% of radiologists in this study were in the acceptable range for cancer detection rate and only a little more than half were in the acceptable range for recommendation of biopsy. So we have a lot of work to do, but if you look at this in terms of performance, of of mammographic interpretations by breast subspecialists in general radiologists, you can see a difference and you can see that general radiologists have increased performance with AI. But what's really interesting is that general radiologists with AI perform better than breast subspecialists without AI, and with AI there really is not a significant difference. Between the sensitivity of cancer detection for breast subspecialists and general radiologists so. Other studies have also shown this. This is a little busy, but if you look at the dark blue line, that's general radiologist performance unaided and the red line is. Breast subspecialist and the green line is performance of AI. So here in two different tests AI performed not only better alone, not only better than general radiologists, but better than breast subspecialists. And here you can see the with radiologists, who were in practice for less than ten years, or those more than ten years and AI helped improve their decision support and their performance, both with less experienced and more experienced radiologists. So can AI level the playing field looks like it really can. It can improve the performance of general radiologists to breast imagers, it can improve the performance of less experienced radiologists to more experienced. And it can improve the performance of all radiologists, regardless of how experienced or how long they've been in practice with mammographic interpretation. Now let's ask the question about AI in interval cancers and we have to find these cancers. These are the evil players. They have a higher stage at the time of diagnosis and a poor prognosis. And here in this study that again was published this year and they looked at the preceding mammogram of 429, screen detected cancers using AI, using two experienced radiologists who went back and looked at the prior mammogram and knew where to look and said Nope, there was nothing there. It's negative. There's a minimal sign of cancer, but it would not have been. Actionable, or it was a false negative and look what they found. They found that a I scored one in three of these cancers three years earlier and there were 67% had no or minimal signs of cancers, 19% of the interval cancers were visible as false negatives or with minimal signs and imaging, and they were all classified as ten as high risk. So if we use AI, we can in fact decrease the number of interval cancers. By detecting them air earlier and it seems and it should follow that a result of finding interval cancers earlier will result in improved patient survival. Can AI function is a double reader? Well, all European screening programs are most are double red, not so in the United States. But can the second reader be AI instead of a radiologist? And can we double or nearly double the availability of radiologist to interpret mammography? And the answer is yes. Here you can see a radiologist without AI, radiologist with AI, and you can see the improved performance with 19% fewer miss cancers on average in this study. And it you can see that one radiologist with 3D mammography versus 2 that there is a significant increase in performance when AI is used as the double reader, both with 3D and with two D. And when that happens, there's up to 18% fewer miss cancers. So yes, hey I can function as a double reader, and it can probably function as a single reader, which brings us to the next point about standalone AI. Now human resource is the most limited resources in Africa they can buy in many places mammography units, but they don't have anybody to interpret those mammograms. So could we set up a spoken wheel system where most mammograms would never be seen by a human because they have a transparent score? 1234567 and maybe. Only send those with eight, nine and 10 to a centralized mammography facility, and we could markedly expand the availability of MA F AI. So here you can see 101 radiologists, the AI alone, and the performance is better even with AI. And if you look at the sensitivity of a I-495, radiologists AI was higher. In 55, the radiologists were higher in 36, but it still shows that AI. Can function alone with a with a performance at least similar to radiologists alone. And again the performance of of AI is continuously improving as a result of this continual learning. And what about not reading other cancers? So here you can see normal cancers, the distribution and cancers that are case based. 789 or 10? What about it? Fix anything and any case that had a transparent score of 1 to six or seven or eight or even nine never passed human eyes. You could up to 80% of exams with cancer are transparent scores 8010 and So what if in Africa we could loosen our parameters and and really screen and find 87% of cancers that would really be incredible and in the screening population the group of. Cases that had as an AI score of 1 to 7, which was 70% of the screening volume, had a negative predictive value of 99.97%. That sounds pretty good to me. We would be able to screen so many women without that human resource. And maybe even in the United States, we can use this to help us with the decrease volume and maybe some cases don't need to be seen by human eyes at all. Now classifications are a real difficult one, but and we we biopsy too many benign calcifications, can we decrease the number of benign classifications using AI? The answer is probably yes. We could probably decrease by almost a quarter the number of biopsies we do for benign microcalcifications using AI. So in other studies a I had can also be used as a standalone without a radiologist with the performance equal to or better than a radiologist. Standalone AI, yes, it's better than a general radiologist. It might even be better than a breast imager, but it can certainly address the limited radiologist availability and maybe in a spoken wheel system in emerging countries to begin to screen larger populations of women. What about AI? In risk assessment we didn't even begin to address the enormous genomic information in a womans mammogram. There's so much information. What is that? Womans risk? Not what is it? Based on a risk assessment model and maybe we could stratify the interval of screening based on risk or. Use more limited resources, more wisely, smarter in order to give those women at increased risk the ability to get screamed. So the answer that I hope that I showed you and I wanted you to notice that somebody of the studies were published this year and last year the amount of information about AI is exponentially increasing. But even with the small amount of data that I shared with you today, yes a I can't. Increase the performance of general radiologists to that of a breast imager. It it can increase the performance of less experienced radiologists to more experienced radiologists. It can increase the performance of a breast imager to a higher level of performance. That is true in both 2D and 3D mammography. We can increase the availability of the human resource by less interpretation time and having the same radiologists being able to interpret more cases. It's highly effective as the second reader and in some countries in Europe is in fact used as a second reader. It decreases the number of interval cancers and the cost implications of finding cancers three years earlier at an earlier stage is very substantial and it's highly effective as a standalone technology for interpretation of most mammograms within a screening population. A negative predictive value of 99.7%. So maybe. Seventy 8090% of mammograms, particularly in countries that don't have any screening currently, can be screened without ever being seen by human eyes, and this really will have a marked impact on global health care disparities with breast cancer as well as in the United States where we can increase the performance of all radiologists to a level that will improve the care of women with breast cancer. And so the answer is, can artificial intelligence in mammography level the playing field? I think the answer is a resounding yes. We have to learn how to use it smartly, effectively, but I think it is really the key to impacting healthcare disparities in breast cancer in a very meaningful way. So with that I thank you. This is my email if I can answer any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me.
