Questions to ask your doctor: AI Breast and Lung Cancer Risk Prediction Explained

A printable checklist to take to your appointment. Based on our guide AI Breast and Lung Cancer Risk Prediction from Mammograms and CT Scans.

1. Would an AI risk score add anything to what we already know about my risk?
2. Which tool would you use, and is it approved in this country?
3. Can it be run on the mammogram or CT I already had, and is my scan the right type?
4. What score would change my care, and what would you recommend if it is high?
5. Will my insurance or health service pay for the score and for any extra MRI, ultrasound or CT?
6. How likely is a false alarm, and what would follow-up involve?
7. Should I also have genetic counselling or a family history assessment?
8. If my score is low, should my screening stay the same?
9. For a lung nodule: is AI software used to assess it, and how does it change the plan?
10. Are there clinical trials I could join?
