Machine learning improves accuracy of survival prediction
An artificial intelligence prototype has been developed to estimate the survival of newly diagnosed cancer patients with breast, thyroid, and pancreatic cancers. The study, abstract 4160, presented at the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Clinical Congress 2023, October 22–25, Boston,…
Machine learning holds key to personalised cancer drugs
Researchers have developed a machine learning (ML) algorithm that can be used to rank the effectiveness of different drugs in reducing cancer cell growth for individual patients. In Nature Communications (25 March 2021), the UK investigators report the feasibility of…
Will artificial intelligence revolutionise cancer therapeutics and care?
The first machine learning application in healthcare was approved by the FDA as recently as 2019 to analyse MRI images of the heart. In oncology, applications that make use of artificial intelligence (AI) are appearing thick and fast, from improving…
Artificial intelligence is prone to overdiagnosis
The use of artificial intelligence might increase the speed and the consistency of cancer diagnosis, but could also exacerbate the problem of overdiagnosis, according to a perspective article recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine by Adewole Adamson and…
