Scientists have developed AI tools that can predict treatment side effects and spot tiny signs of breast cancer that human doctors may miss. One tool can predict the likelihood of side effects such as scarring and swelling, offering hope for personalized treatment. Another AI tool, Mia, successfully identified early signs of cancer in 11 women, potentially reducing waiting times for results and workload for doctors. These breakthroughs could significantly impact the early detection and treatment of breast cancer, which affects millions of women worldwide each year.
A long-term clinical trial conducted by Edith Cowan University (ECU) has found that supervised exercise interventions can significantly benefit prostate cancer patients suffering from sexual dysfunction, a common side effect of treatment. The study showed that exercise not only improved sexual health outcomes but also had positive effects on overall physical strength and well-being. The findings highlight the importance of exercise as an integral part of prostate cancer treatment and call for its routine prescription to improve the quality of life for affected individuals.
