Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have investigated how well different AI models can predict the prognosis of triple-negative breast cancer by analyzing certain immune cells inside the tumor.
Karolinska InstituteNov 19 2024 The study, published in the journal eClinicalMedicine, is an important step towards using AI in cancer care to improve patient health.
These immune cells can be important in predicting how a patient with so-called triple-negative breast cancer will respond to treatment and how the disease will progress. But when pathologists assess the immune cells, the results can vary. Artificial intelligence can help standardise and automate this process, but it has been difficult to demonstrate that AI works well enough to be used in healthcare.
The results showed that the AI models varied in their analytical performance. Despite these differences, eight of the ten models showed good prognostic ability, meaning they were able to predict patients' future health in a similar way.
