King’s College London Researchers have announced a breast cancer breakthrough with new AI that can predict if the disease will spread - experts believe it could save thousands of lives.
The technology measures the immune response of lymph nodes, pea-sized lumps of tissue that help the body fight infection.
Publishing their findings in the Journal of Pathology, they hope to test the AI model in clinical trials.
The research institute announced the news on Twitter writing: “‘Tests on the lymph nodes of people with triple-negative breast cancer - an aggressive disease which is one of the most likely to spread or return - found it could predict if it was likely to metastasize”.
Scientists have developed an AI model that can predict if breast cancer will spread based on changes in lymph nodes.
