Data points and lines are used to illustrate the figure of a woman, with highlighted circles to indicate breasts and the acronym “AI” appearing at the top.

New Deep Learning System Proves Accurate in Predicting Suspected Breast Cancer

A new, NCI-funded, deep learning technology performed on par with radiologists in interpreting breast cancer images. This tool could help refine diagnosis to reduce the number of unnecessary biopsies.

Silhouette of a profile facing left; electric-like outline of the head and brain paths are depicted as light blue lines with purplish-white dots in areas that represent synapses.

New Deep Learning Tool Accurately Classifies Tumor Types

NCI-DOE Collaboration researchers, using data from the Genomic Data Commons, have developed TULIP: a deep learning tool for classifying human RNA-seq-based tumor types.

Artists interpretation of an AI algorithm. Shows three lines feeding into a circle with a cog in the center. A single line exits the circle. Shows how differing inputs help inform one answer.

SPHINKS: AI Algorithm Uses Kinase Activity to Tailor Glioblastoma Treatment

NCI-funded researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence algorithm that’s helping identify the underlying biological causes of glioblastoma.

New Contract Opportunity to Obtain Medical Image Segmentations

NCI is seeking support for developing machine-generated segmentations of images in the radiology collections of the Imaging Data Commons (IDC). Submit your proposals by March 10, 2023.

An open laptop displays a colored line graph. The computer is surrounded by icons representing various forms of data visualization, such as pie charts and bar charts. Percentages, gear cogs, and a magnifying glass are also present.

Apply for Grants to Support Novel and Standard Tools for Analyzing All of Us Program Data

NIH and NCI are participating in two funding opportunities to support the All of Us Research Program’s Researcher Workbench. These grants will help support analysis of the data for this program to advance research in cancer risk, early detection, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, cancer control, epidemiology, and health disparities.

Apply by February 13 for Supplemental Funds to Support Data Science Training

You can use the funding to support data science training related to research on infectious- and immune-mediated disease, including cancer.

Figure shows CT scans and corresponding 3-D renderings of tumor vasculature for people who responded to therapy vs. those who didn't. Tumor vasculature in non-responders had more twists and turns than those who responded to treatment.

Tumor Twistedness Serves as AI-Based Biomarker for Lung Cancer Immunotherapy

Using data from routine lung scans, NCI-supported researchers developed an AI-based tool to help predict how patients will respond to therapy.
