Emerging technology with artificial intelligence is fine-tuning the treatment of breast cancer by identifying sub-types of breast cancer to customize treatment plans. These developments will be applied to other forms of cancer diagnosis and to study the evolution of cancer and drug resistance in treatment today.
Artificial intelligence algorithms have been used to identify patterns in breast cancer diagnosis and customized treatment plans.
Dr. Anguraj Sadanandam, Team Leader in Systems and Precision Cancer Medicine at The Institute of Cancer Research, London explains, "Our new study has shown that AI is able to recognise patterns in breast cancer that are beyond the limit of the human eye, and to point us to new avenues of treatment among those who have stopped responding to standard hormone therapies. AI has the capacity to be used much more widely, and we think we will be able to apply this technique across all cancers, even opening up new possibilities for treatment in cancers that are currently without successful options."
