AI traces mysterious metastatic cancers to their source
Algorithm examines images of metastatic cells to identify the location of the primary tumour.
Now scientists have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that outperforms pathologists at identifying the origins of metastatic cancer cells that circulate in the body 1. “That’s a pretty significant finding — that it can be used as an assistive tool,” says Faisal Mahmood, who studies AI applications in health care at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts. Tian, Li Xiangchun, a bioinformatics researcher who studies deep learning at TMU, and their colleagues wanted to develop a deep-learning algorithm to analyse these images and predict the origin of the cancers.
