The model provides actionable insights for physicians and could enhance clinical decision-making in resource-constrained regions.
Researchers at Harvard Medical School and National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan have created a new artificial intelligence model that could help doctors make more informed decisions about treatment and prognosis for patients with colorectal cancer, the second leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide.
The new tool can accurately predict the aggressiveness of a colorectal tumor, the likelihood of survival with and without disease recurrence, and the optimal therapy for the patient, solely by analyzing images of tumor samples, which are microscopic depictions of cancer cells.
