The surprising way breast cancer screenings could reveal heart disease - The Washington Post

A study showed AI can detect artery calcification on routine mammograms, potentially flagging women at increased risk of heart disease without extra imaging. The new pancreatic-cancer AI result reinforces a broader trend of AI finding secondary disease signals in existing medical data, expanding opportunities for earlier risk detection across conditions. Both findings are promising but require independent validation and careful clinical integration to manage accuracy, follow-up, and potential harms from false positives.
