Deep learning-based microsatellite instability predictor from prostate cancer whole-slide images
Researchers developed a deep learning predictor of MSI in prostate cancer using a large, real-world cohort of H&E whole slide images. The screening algorithm may be used to rapidly prioritize patients for confirmatory testing, which can identify MSI-high patients who may qualify for immunotherapy.
Overcoming limitations in current measures of drug response may enable AI-driven precision oncology
State-of-the-art AI models in precision oncology were actually not giving personalized predictions 💣 Keep reading to learn how we discovered it ☄️
