Korean Researchers Develop AI to Predict Cancer Patients’ Response to Immunotherapy
A research team whose leadership is based in South Korea has developed an AI model for predicting how cancer patients will respond to immunotherapy. Designed to improve the precision of treatment in colorectal and gastric cancer, the AI model could provide physicians with a significantly more accurate tool for customizing therapies. Immunotherapy is a relatively new approach to cancer treatment that involves “training” the immune system to recognize and destroy malignant cells. In contrast to chemotherapy and radiation which can damage surrounding healthy tissue, immunotherapy allows physicians to more precisely target tumor cells.
