Applications of AI in Cancer Treatment health news

Artificial Intelligence in Cancer Treatment: After the Quad summit, the heads of states of India, America, Australia and Japan gave their address for Cancer Moonshot. Prime Minister in this program Narendra Modi made a big announcement regarding the treatment of cervical cancer in India. He announced to start treatment with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to fight cervical cancer. Along with this, he offered aid of 7.5 million dollars to help other countries.

Cancer is the leading cause of premature death worldwide. The American Cancer Society estimates that there will be more than two million new cases and 611,720 deaths from cancer in the year 2024. The most common cancers are breast, colorectal, lung, and prostate cancer.

Timely detection is very important in cancer treatment. Now AI i.e. Artificial Intelligence is being used in cancer treatment. Let us know what is the role of AI in cancer treatment and what are its possibilities in the future (Applications of AI in Cancer Treatment)…

what is cancer

Cancer is a disease in which certain cells in the body start growing rapidly. It is a genetic disease caused by mutations of genes. It is difficult to predict how tumors will respond to treatment. Cancer patients with tumors may have different responses to the same treatment.

Personalised Treatment

For the treatment of cancer, every cancer patient needs personalized treatment. Doctors prepare a treatment plan according to the patient. For this, information on genomic abnormalities, proteins and other substances found in the patient’s body is used.

Know from the doctor how much help AI will provide

According to Dr. Amarendra Pathak, Senior Consultant Neurologist and Vice Chairman of Urology Department of Sir Gangaram Hospital Delhi, treatment can be organized in a better way with the help of Artificial Intelligence. He says that if Artificial Intelligence is used properly, then the survival rate of the patient can be increased further. Understand it like this that if there is a tumor in the kidney, then the information of CTMR can be fed. Apart from this, the entire data of the patient and his treatment is fed into Artificial Intelligence, which helps in treatment.

According to Dr Pathak, artificial intelligence helps in assessment of treatment. Also, with the help of chart board, it keeps reminding the patient from time to time as to when to go to the doctor and when to get which tests done. Images of robotic or laparoscopic surgery can be attached so that intraoperative suggestions can be given through artificial intelligence. Apart from this, through artificial intelligence, guidance is given as to what better treatment can be done further by looking at the tests done after these operations. According to Dr Amarendra Pathak, if a patient has undergone stone operation, then artificial intelligence also gives suggestions as to what the patient should do and what not so that it does not happen again.

Role of AI in Personalized Treatment

AI is proving to be very helpful in accelerating personalized treatment of cancer. From detection and treatment of cancer to understanding tumors and their environment, symptoms, drug discovery and predictions about treatment response and outcomes, AI is being used in every field of oncology.

Role of AI in future cancer treatment

The use of artificial intelligence in the field of oncology is increasing rapidly. However, at present it is mostly used for cancer diagnosis and screening. Screening in cancer is the best way of prevention and AI can play a very important role in this direction. AI is helping a lot in enhancing full body scan medical images and preparing reports after analysis.
