Mathematical Model Predicts Breast Cancer Response to Chemotherapy Drug

A new computational model reveals how local tumor conditions impact therapy effectiveness.

Three dimensional rendering of a cancer tumor displaying the many different types of cells (signified by different colors and shapes) in the tumor cell microenvironment. The brightly colored cells are shown woven together into a ball, with additional cells orbiting the ball; red vasculature is shown both within the tumor and connecting to bloodstream.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Model, “HistoTME,” Aids in Predicting Response to Immunotherapy

NCI researchers debuted a new deep learning model that could help you decipher the cancer tumor’s microenvironment. The model holds a lot of promise for predicting which patients are most likely to benefit from checkpoint inhibitors.
