AI Bowel Cancer Test Determines Need for Chemotherapy in Patients: Study
Advertisement
A study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology reveals that a new artificial intelligence (AI) test can assess the risk of bowel cancer recurrence and potentially help patients avoid chemotherapy. Led by researchers at the University of Leeds, the test uses an AI algorithm to accurately evaluate the presence of CD3 immune cells in early-stage bowel cancer tumours. Bowel cancer, also known as colorectal cancer, affects the large bowel, including the colon and rectum, and was diagnosed in 1.9 million cases globally in 2020.
