AI tool analyzes tumour images to guide treatment for common brain cancer
By
Hannah Clargo-Jones
Summary
Scientists at the University of Toronto and Mayo Clinic have developed an AI tool that analyzes images of tumour tissue to help identify meningiomas (the most common adult brain tumour) with a high risk of regrowth after surgery. The tool runs on a laptop and provides results in under an hour, potentially enabling doctors to recommend earlier, more aggressive treatment for high-risk patients. The study was funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and published in The Lancet Digital Health.

· 3 pulledScientists at the University of Toronto and Mayo Clinic have pioneered a new tool that uses AI to analyse images of tumour tissue, providing doctors with reliable information in less than an hour.
The tool requires only a laptop to run.
It could help identify meningiomas that have a high risk of growing back quickly after surgery and may therefore benefit from earlier, more aggressive treatment.
