Recently, the social media platform Weibo was abuzz with news about a woman who discovered early-stage lung cancer thanks to an artificial intelligence application. This information immediately became the most searched keyword on Weibo, generating a large amount of interaction.
According to shared information, about four years ago, during a health check-up, Ms. Guo's mother in Hunan Province discovered a faint nodule in her lung. In May 2024, a follow-up examination showed a significant increase in the nodule's size and the onset of calcification.

The hospital report recommended "PET-CT scan (a nuclear medicine imaging technique combining PET (positron emission tomography) and CT (computed tomography) and MDT (multidisciplinary consultation)" , but due to a lack of understanding of the technical terminology, the family was confused and hesitant.
After being introduced by friends, Ms. Guo tried submitting her mother's health checkup report to an AI system for analysis. The AI warned of the risk of early-stage lung cancer. Immediately afterward, the family took the patient to the hospital for examination. The diagnosis confirmed early-stage lung cancer, and surgery was performed promptly, leading to a good recovery for the patient.
According to Chinese media reports, doctors say that many people proactively get health checkups but lack the ability to interpret the indicators and conclusions, easily leading to complacency or unwarranted anxiety. This can cause patients to miss the opportunity for early treatment.
According to data from China, approximately 1.06 million new cases of lung cancer are recorded each year. Experts recommend that people aged 40 and older, especially those with lung nodules, should have a regular annual check-up to detect and address potential risks early.
