Recently, the social network Weibo was abuzz with news about a woman who detected lung cancer early thanks to artificial intelligence applications. This information immediately climbed straight to the most searched keyword on Weibo with a large amount of interaction.
According to shared information, about 4 years ago, during a health check, Ms. Quach's mother in Hunan province discovered a cloudy nodule in her lung. In May 2024, a follow-up examination showed that the nodule had significantly increased in size and had begun to calcify.

The hospital report recommended “a PET-CT scan (a nuclear medicine imaging technique that combines two methods, PET (positron emission tomography) and CT (computed tomography) and MDT (multidisciplinary consultation)” , but because they did not understand the technical terminology, the family was confused and hesitated.
After being introduced by a friend, Ms. Quach tried to feed her mother's health check report to an AI system for analysis. The AI warned of the risk of early-stage lung cancer. Immediately after, the family took the patient to the hospital for a check-up. The diagnosis confirmed early-stage lung cancer and surgery was performed promptly, helping the patient recover well.
According to Chinese media reports, doctors say many people take the initiative to get health check-ups but are not able to read and understand the indicators and conclusions, which can easily lead to subjective psychology or undue anxiety. This can cause patients to miss the time for early treatment.
According to data in China, the country records about 1.06 million new cases of lung cancer each year. Experts recommend that people aged 40 and older, especially those with lung nodules, should have regular check-ups once a year to promptly detect and treat risks.
