Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras have developed an artificial intelligence tool that can identify cancer-causing genes.
The AI tool, “Pivot”, can predict cancer-causing genes in an individual thus assisting in not only reducing the side-effects of drugs but also in better recovery for patients.
The researchers have used prediction models for breast invasive carcinoma, colony adenocarcinoma and lung adenocarcinoma. They plan to extend it to other cancers. The aim is to find ways to provide personalised cancer treatment strategies.
