Addressing Racial and Ethnic Bias in Algorithms that Predict Colorectal Cancer Risk

NCI-funded researchers looked at the impact of racial and ethnic bias on algorithms that help clinicians make more informed decisions when caring for patients with colorectal cancer. They found that removing the race and ethnicity variable could lead to higher bias in the model’s performance.

NCI-funded researchers used artificial intelligence to develop an accurate cancer estimation map for defining tumor margins. They found their model outperformed conventional estimates of tumor margins using imaging alone.
