A new study published in the journal Nature Communications has found that a computer program powered by artificial intelligence (AI) can accurately diagnose cases of adenocarcinoma, the most common form of lung cancer. The program, called histomorphological phenotype learning (HPL), incorporates structural features of tumors from 452 adenocarcinoma patients and offers an unbiased second opinion for patients and oncologists. The HPL program was found to accurately distinguish between similar lung cancers 99% of the time and was 72% accurate at predicting the likelihood and timing of cancer's return after therapy. The researchers hope to use the HPL algorithm to assign each patient a score reflecting their statistical chance of survival and tumor recurrence. Funding for the study was provided by the National Institutes of Health and other organizations. [Extracted from the article] |
