Sydney, Australia – Using artificial intelligence, Garvan Institute researchers have found potential cancer drivers hidden in so-called ‘junk’ regions of DNA, opening up possibilities for a new approach to diagnosis and treatment. Non-coding DNA – the 98% of our genome that doesn’t contain instructions for making proteins – could hold...
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – A new clinical trial underway at Marshall University uses advanced medical device technology coupled with Computer-Aided Detection (CADe) systems, a form of artificial intelligence (AI), to reduce the risk of missed polyps, or lesions, during colonoscopy procedures. Gastroenterologists at the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine...
HOUSTON, TX ― A new Phase Ib/II study from researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and Moffitt Cancer Center found that combining sensitizing drugs with a specific form of radiation therapy may be more effective in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer, yielding a higher progression-free survival...
Charleston, South Carolina – In science, a simple but thorough observation can kick-start the most surprising findings.
