A circle contains a syringe, a pill bottle, and a strand of DNA—illustrates how researchers are using genetics to find new and better ways of treating cancer.

Machine Learning Models Help Predict Medication Responses

What if you could predict how a chemotherapy drug would work—in terms of sensitivity and side-effects—before you ever use it? NCI-funded researchers are using machine learning models to better understand a key mechanism underlying cancer, giving us new ways to predict responses to common chemotherapy drugs.

A tissue cell neighborhood shows four groups of cells, featuring different cell types, including immune cells and tumor cells. Lines connect the cells and cell groups, showing how cells interact, both with their closest neighbors and with cell groups that are farther away.

Algorithm Shines Light on Cancer Cell Neighborhoods

The ways that cells interact with neighboring cells and their environments can either regulate or promote how tumors grow and spread. See how a new tool is helping us better understand these important “neighborhood” interactions.
