Researchers from the University of British Columbia and BC Cancer have successfully developed a novel artificial intelligence (AI) model that can predict the survival of cancer patients more accurately using more readily available data compared to previous techniques.
“Predicting cancer survival is an important factor that can be used to improve cancer care,” explained Dr. John-Jose Nunez, the study’s lead author.
“It might suggest health providers make an earlier referral to support services or offer a more aggressive treatment option upfront. Our hope is that a tool like this could be used to personalize and optimize the care a patient receives right away, giving them the best outcome possible.”
