Researchers have taken a step forward in developing new strategies for treating tumors, and curing even the most deadly ones.

An artificial intelligence (AI) model has been created by scientists, doctors and researchers that can identify cancer accurately. Researchers say it could speed up the diagnosis of the disease and also speed up the treatment given to patients.

The AI ​​tool, which " performs more efficiently than current methods ", was designed by experts at the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, the Institute of Cancer Research, London and Imperial College London. The tool can identify whether abnormal growths seen on a person's CT scans are cancerous.

New AI tool can identify cancer more efficiently, better than current methods.

"In the future, we hope to improve early detection and potentially make cancer treatment more successful by identifying high-risk patients and moving them quickly to earlier intervention," said Dr Benjamin Hunter. , a clinical researcher.

For the study in question, the team used CT scans of about 500 patients with large lung nodules to develop an AI algorithm using radiomics. The technique can extract important information from medical images that is not easily discernible by the human eye.

The study then used a measure called area under the curve (AUC) to see how effective the model was at predicting cancer. The results showed that the AI ​​model could distinguish the cancer risk of each node with an AUC of 0.87. Performance improved on the Brock score, a test used in the clinic, which scored 0.67.

''According to these initial results, our model appears to accurately identify large cancerous lung nodules. Next, we plan to test the technology in patients with large lung nodules in the clinic to see if it can accurately predict lung cancer risk," added Hunter.

Physician Dr Richard Lee said: "Through this work, we hope to push the boundaries of speeding up disease detection using innovative technologies such as AI."

According to the World Health Organization, cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide, resulting in approximately 10 million deaths per year, or nearly one in six deaths.
