Keep up with the latest news from the NCI Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology (CBIIT) and the data science communities.

Head with the letters “A.I” shows how AI can help “see” research in a new way. The head is focusing on icons that represent pathology, research, imaging, and ideas—all of which come together to create a new perspective for cancer research.

The Making of a New Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Approach to Head and Neck Cancer

See how NCI-funded researchers built on previous studies to create a new model (called SMuRF) for head and neck cancer. Their model offers a new, more human-like, perspective to assessing head and neck cancer.

Person sits at a laptop and presses a file. The file opens four documents with a background that shows charts, flow charts, and additional buttons. Signifies the idea of an online resource.

NCI-Supported Study Uses Machine Learning (ML) to Help You Tap into the TCGA

Thanks to this NCI-funded study, you now have a host of top-performing predictive models, data types, and training algorithms to help you better classify your patient samples.

Deep Learning Model CGS-Net Enhances Medical Image Analysis

Learn how CGS-Net can assist in diagnosing cancer by incorporating contextual information for more accurate segmentation in medical images.

Clinician sits behind a laptop. Above the laptop is the emblem of a shield, surrounded by blue crosses. A syringe is superimposed on the shield and the doctor is pressing the emblem with his finger. Denotes how AI is helping doctors select treatment for their patients.

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.

NCI Leaders Discuss Maximizing Data Utility

Here at NCI, how are we maximizing data utility? Two of our leaders comment on the ways we’re making data ready for use with artificial intelligence (AI), more valuable to the cancer research community, and more!

Doctor holds laptop showing a high-tech image of a prostate in red. Small icons are in the background showing all the ways that technology can help in improving healthcare. Those icons show medications, health care, diagnoses, treatment, genetics, and more.

Updated NCI Model Gains Greater Precision in Diagnosing Prostate Cancer

See how NCI researchers are working to find new ways of interpreting biopsies and managing prostate cancer. This recent model could lead to a more precise approach, reducing the need for additional and often unnecessary biopsies.
