Researchers at Stanford University believe a newly developed AI tool could help in the fight against cancer and other diseases.
Olivier Gevaert, a biomedical data scientist at Stanford Medicine, showed CBS News Bay Area an example of a breast cancer tissue. Identifying and understanding the prevalence of specific genes within that tissue is just one hurdle in the fight against certain cancers.'Specifically for breast cancer, gene sets and gene signatures are being used to determine treatment,' said Gevaert.
'You can see the score is very low, so we are predicting, just from the image, that this patient is low risk,' said Gevaert. The researcher said there's 'definitely room for improvement,' but also believes it can help guide treatment plans and better predict patient outcomes.
