AI and risk tool are new snipers in battle against colorectal cancer

Colorectal cancer treatment can become more efficient following two breakthroughs: a machine learning system that has dramatically improved detection and a web tool that can predict the risk of its recurrence.

In 10 seconds? Researchers have achieved a 100% accuracy in predicting colorectal cancer using an advanced form of AI, known as machine learning. Independently, another team has used a risk model to create a tool that highlights patients whose cancer is likely to come back.
