New AI Model Seeks to Improve Breast Cancer Prognoses and Personalize Treatments
- Northwestern researchers developed an AI model to better predict outcomes for breast cancer patients and personalize treatment plans
- The model studies cancerous and noncancerous cells to provide more nuanced prognoses than current methods
- It aims to identify patients who may not need aggressive chemotherapy, sparing side effects
- Researchers used a diverse dataset of over 3,000 tissue samples to train the algorithm
- If approved, the model could be applied to other cancers and aid doctors globally in developing treatment plans
