New AI Tool Helps Interpret Pathology Slides to Predict Cancer Recurrence

NCI-funded researchers combined long-term, patient-outcome data with pathology slides from people with colorectal cancer to develop a machine learning tool, called QuantCRC. Using QuantCRC, researchers could predict if a patient’s cancer would recur based on analysis of a single hematoxylin and eosin stained slide of the tumor.

Data points and lines are used to illustrate the figure of a woman, with highlighted circles to indicate breasts and the acronym “AI” appearing at the top.

New Deep Learning System Proves Accurate in Predicting Suspected Breast Cancer

A new, NCI-funded, deep learning technology performed on par with radiologists in interpreting breast cancer images. This tool could help refine diagnosis to reduce the number of unnecessary biopsies.

Artists interpretation of an AI algorithm. Shows three lines feeding into a circle with a cog in the center. A single line exits the circle. Shows how differing inputs help inform one answer.

SPHINKS: AI Algorithm Uses Kinase Activity to Tailor Glioblastoma Treatment

NCI-funded researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence algorithm that’s helping identify the underlying biological causes of glioblastoma.

New Contract Opportunity to Obtain Medical Image Segmentations

NCI is seeking support for developing machine-generated segmentations of images in the radiology collections of the Imaging Data Commons (IDC). Submit your proposals by March 10, 2023.

Figure shows CT scans and corresponding 3-D renderings of tumor vasculature for people who responded to therapy vs. those who didn't. Tumor vasculature in non-responders had more twists and turns than those who responded to treatment.

Tumor Twistedness Serves as AI-Based Biomarker for Lung Cancer Immunotherapy

Using data from routine lung scans, NCI-supported researchers developed an AI-based tool to help predict how patients will respond to therapy.
