• AI Could Help Spot Difficult-To-Detect Pancreatic Cancer Sooner

    Clinical Research News | Radiomics-based machine learning models have been shown to do an impressive job of detecting pancreatic cancer on pre-diagnostic CT scans several months before symptoms appear, suggesting that one day the disease will more often be diagnosed at a stage where a surgical cure may be possible.

  • Online ‘Biclustering’ Tool Stratifies Patients To The Molecular Level

    Clinical Research News | Researchers in Germany have developed a web-based tool, powered by machine learning, which extracts disease subtypes from large pools of patient data. The goal is more precise and robust predictions about molecular signatures that can serve as a starting point for investigating disease heterogeneity.
