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.
