Application Of Ai Technologies And The Treatment Of Cancer

The argument of the author consists of the limitations of the practical model of diagnosis, which have current systems based on the AI. Salvado underlines, even throughout the significant gap between the amount of information of which the computer may know, compared to the human brain, there is still a great difference between the accuracy of diagnosis provided by a real doctor and a program. The examples provided by the author brightly support his argument and show disadvantages and gaps in the current model of artificial intelligence technology application.

Abstract: Breast cancer research over the last decade has been tremendous and the novel methods being develop help in the early detection, in setting the stages of the therapy and in assessing the response of the patient to the treatment. Some of the studies look very promising and their use in future may decrease the radiation dose to the patient. This paper studies various techniques used for the diagnosis of breast cancer. Different methods are explored for their merits and de-merits for the diagnosis of breast lesion. It was found that the recent use of the combination of Artificial Neural Networks in most of the instances give accurate results for the diagnosis of breast cancer and their use can also be extended to other diseases.

Dr. Ahrendt noted the huge advancements that have been made over the last decade, but made sure to note that the math behind AI and machine learning is quite old mathematics. “Now that we can compute things so quickly… we can see the bloom of AI and machine learning.”

Thus an interdisciplinary approach should be utilized as a broad range of scientific discipline from biochemistry to informatics which will help us to identify and understand the mechanism for cancer progression and its prognosis. With the rapid changes in the technology, there has been various challenges which have come into the picture due to regulatory oversight and legislation. One of the major challenges is to manage large amount of data generated via assays thus it requires massive computational resources for data storage, processing and interpretation. Certain informatics resources such as ClinGen and ClinVar database of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) has provided us with easily accessible data. The identification and routine deployment of molecular markers to improve classification of indeterminate lesions will be of great benefit to patients and surgeons and will reduce costs to the health care system by limiting unnecessary surgical procedures. More multidisciplinary research, closer collaborations is required between drug and cancer biomarker developers, clinicians, biologists, biostaticians and IT professionals, so to develop cancer biomarkers to improve patient outcome as well as to help the clinician in rapid clinical decision

The industry is impacted by financial challenges for drug development and diagnostics (2016). The cost of drug development may rise due to more complex procedures, i.e. biomarker analysis (2016). The underdevelopment of pharmaceutical regulations (2016), relating to personalised medicine, may threaten the introduction of these treatments and diagnostics in healthcare. The pharmaceutical industry is also faced with scientific challenges in the development of personalised medicine, many of the sciences used to develop drugs and diagnostic techniques are emerging and not yet fully developed, molecular profiling for example (2016) leading to the choosing of an incorrect biomarker for a disease can prove extremely costly and timely for drug development programs as explained by A. Ayers (2016). The handling of more complex data may result in the need for new, more powerful computing and statistical methods (2016).

In the clinical practice area of health care; clinical, imaging and bio-informatics help support making diagnoses and treatment planning for patients. As seen in the article by Frankovich et al., and the promotional video of the supercomputer Watson for oncology, the informatics systems sort through the data and is able to provide the best treatment plan possible

It has widely been applied in our daily lives – when we go to Amazon.com, we see recommended items selected by the machine learning algorithms; online music streaming services, such as Spotify and Pandora, use machine learning to guess songs that we like; search engines, Google for example, use machine learning to learn our searching habits and suggest websites that we most likely want to visit. Indeed, machine learning has made our lives much easier to some extent. However, machine learning might also bias our views. Personal Assistant services, such as Google Now and Cortana, study your habits and use that data to filter and select what you prefer to see and present them to you; Facebook pushes news to your timeline, but only those the machine learning algorithm thinks you are interested in. In general, machine learning algorithms take in users’ habits and interpret them into their preferences, and therefore provide more information that matches their

Mammography is a prevailing diagnostic method in breast tumor. However, in view of its minimal positive predicted value, over the half (70%) of requests for doing breast biopsies based on the interpretation of the mammograms are worthless as the results will demonstrate no malignancy. There are several computer aided diagnostic methods to decline doing needless biopsies. This study was conducted to diagnose both benign and malignant tumors using neural network. The database was included 961 patients’ records, which consist of 5 attributes (e.g. age, tumor density, type of abnormality, shape and margins). Just over half (53.6%) of cancer data was concerned to benign tumors and the others pertained to malignant ones. Incomplete instances were

The wide goal of a medical decision support system is to provide either direct or indirect assistance in medical decision making by exploring an extensive medical knowledge base. Data mining takes a key role in knowledge discovery process in medical databases. For example, with rising popularity of gene therapy the data mining has been used widely in the genome mapping process. Identifying the disease causing gene is a primary objective of drug companies [20].

In this report, I will be describing a hypothetical independent bioinformatics group project with Dr. Ian Watson (McGill University). I have discussed with him previously about potential post-graduate projects I could take on. Dr. Watson’s research focuses on melanoma genomics which include sequencing the exomes and genomes of patient samples (of varying severity) and biomarker responses to immunotherapy (Watson, 2016). I will choose to focus on a project that will work on previously sequenced patient samples for brevity and practicality. Specifically, I will choose to analyze the pharmacological responses from the supplied tumour data via analyzing their genetic profiles. Melanoma-targeted therapies have shown promise with many drugs currently undergoing (Food and Drug Administration) FDA trial (Cancer Research Institute, 2016). Dr. Watson has access to several clinical trial phase biopsies whose genetic profiles can be analyzed. Ideally, I will aim to differentiate and distinguish groups of poor- and high-responders by their genetic signatures. For instance, immunocytokines are more effective in patients with killer immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR)/KIR-ligand mismatch genotypes (Delgado et al., 2010). Another example is vemurafenib which inhibits mutant BRAF (a common mutation in melanoma patients which activates the RAS pathway, see Figure 1). Indeed, vemurafenib has a higher survival rate than traditional chemotherapy in patients with a

Machines with AI could be used in medical facilities to diagnose illnesses or to search for symptoms or the presence of anomalies in the bodies of patients (Keiser, 2017). Doctors constantly lament the delays in diagnosing diseases in a developing country. The use Artificial

In this article an in-depth overview is presented on Computer aided diagnostic (CAD) system’s usage for liver cancer. Besides, in a broader sense highlighting the technical aspects developed for medical ultrasound images is also discussed. CAD system is a process that provides adequate information that helps to analyze the Ultrasound images and helps to accurately detecting different types of liver cancer. However, the system performance is still not significantly improved. In this paper, firstly, we categorize the CAD system according to the four primary stages including data preprocessing, lesion segmentation, feature extraction, selection, and Classifier. In each stage, we review specific methods that are commonly used in most of the algorithms proposed for computerized tissue characterization and discuss their advantages and drawbacks. Then, recent proposed algorithms is presented in summarize form that have shown clinical value or specific possibility to the computerized analysis of setback for ultrasound liver images. These techniques or their combinations are the ones that are mostly used in the past few decades by the majority of work published in the Computer aided diagnosis domain.
