A study suggests that artificial intelligence (AI) could be used to diagnose and treat rare cancers faster than a biopsy. Researchers from the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust and the Institute of Cancer Research in London explored how AI could grade the aggressiveness of sarcomas, a type of cancer that develops in connective tissues. The algorithm could potentially benefit thousands of people every year and be applied to other types of cancer.
Artificial intelligence could help diagnose and treat rare cancers faster than a biopsy, a study has suggested.
The disease is very rare - clinicians may only see one or two cases in their career – which means diagnosis can be slow “The disease is very rare – clinicians may only see one or two cases in their career – which means diagnosis can be slow,” Dr Arthur said. We’re incredibly excited by the potential of this state-of-the-art technology, which could lead to patients having better outcomes through faster diagnosis and more effectively personalised treatment
Study lead Christina Messiou, a consultant radiologist at the Royal Marsden and professor in imaging for personalised oncology at the Institute of Cancer Research, said: “We’re incredibly excited by the potential of this state-of-the-art technology, which could lead to patients having better outcomes through faster diagnosis and more effectively personalised treatment.
“Our novel approach used features specific to this disease, but by refining the algorithm, this technology could one day improve the outcomes of thousands of patients each year.
