AI predicts breast cancer spread, saving lives.
Researchers from King’s College London have developed an AI model that can predict if a patient’s breast cancer will spread by measuring the immune response of lymph nodes. The technology was tested on more than 5,000 lymph nodes donated by 345 patients with triple negative breast cancer, an aggressive disease that is one of the most likely to spread or return. The breakthrough could lead to more tailored treatment based on a woman’s individual risk profile, stopping the disease before it becomes incurable.
