Revolutionizing Cancer Treatment: How AI and Immunotherapy are Transforming the Fight Against Cancer
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, with an estimated 9.6 million deaths in 2018. The conventional treatment of cancer involves chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery, but these methods are often ineffective and have severe side effects that diminish the quality of life of cancer patients. However, recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Immunotherapy have shown promising results in revolutionizing cancer treatment. AI has emerged as a novel tool in cancer diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and drug discovery. In cancer diagnosis, AI-based algorithms can improve cancer detection, classification, and segmentation from medical images. AI can accurately detect abnormalities, nodules, and masses from medical images like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scans. In a study published in the journal Nature Medicine in 2018, researchers used an AI algorithm to detect breast cancer from mammograms with an accuracy rate of 94.7%, which was hi...
