NCI-Funded Researchers Use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to Untangle Nuclear Wrinkles

NCI-funded researchers are applying AI to digital pathology images to better understand cellular features, such as “nuclear wrinkling.” Such extreme wrinkling and folding is a hallmark of cancer.

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.

NCI Study Examines Artificial Intelligence (AI) Versus Radiologists in Assessing Tumors

Wondering how to use AI for radiology? In a new study, NCI researchers found that AI may work best as an adjunct to the radiologist rather than a standalone solution, allowing radiologists to focus on cases that need more critical assessment.
