While it’s long been understood that predicting outcomes in patients with cancer requires considering many factors, such as patient history, genes and disease pathology, clinicians struggle with integrating this information to make decisions about patient care. A new study from researchers from the Mahmood Lab at Brigham and Women’s Hospital reveals a proof-of-concept model that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to combine multiple types of data from different sources to predict patient outcomes for 14 different types of cancer. Results are published in Cancer Cell.
Experts depend on several sources of data, like genomic sequencing, pathology, and patient history, to diagnose and prognosticate different types of cancer. While existing technology enables them to use this information to predict outcomes, manually integrating...
