The survival rate of affected patients from the deadliest type of cancer can be predicted by Artificial Intelligence according to scientists.
Researchers at King’s College London trained an AI model to determine whether people diagnosed with glioblastoma would live for at least eight months after radiotherapy, allowing doctors to examine other treatments if radiation therapy was not enough.
The average survival time from glioblastoma is 12 to 18 months – only 25% of patients survive more than one year and only 5% of patients survive more than five years.
The AI was trained with a dataset from 10,000 MRI scans different types of cancer.
Britain’s National Cancer Research Foundation – which funds cancer research – notes that glioblastomas are the “deadliest form of brain cancer”. It develops when the cells that support the nerves in the brain begin to divide uncontrollably. Fast-growing cells invade nearby brain tissue, making them difficult to remove, but they generally do not spread in other areas of the body.
