Artificial Intelligence (AI) Model “SCORPIO” Uses Blood Test to Predict Immunotherapy Benefits

Thanks to a new AI model called “SCORPIO,” you may someday be able to use a simple blood test and routine clinical information to decide which patients will benefit from immunotherapy.

Target shows one medication capsule in the bull’s eye, with four more tablets in the outside rings of the target. Illustrates the difficulty in finding the precise medication for treating diseases like cancer.

Machine Learning Model “BATCHIE” Helps Discover Effective Drug Combinations

Screening for the best medication for your patient could be more efficient thanks to a new model called “BATCHIE.” See how machine learning is helping boost precision medicine for 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.
