IIT Madras researchers develop AI tool towards personalised cancer diagnosis
Published on 13 Jul 2022
- 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 AI prediction model has been built for three different types of cancer including Breast Invasive Carcinoma, Colon Adenocarcinoma and Lung Adenocarcinoma.
- The tool is based on a machine learning model that classifies genes as tumour suppressor genes, oncogenes or neutral genes.
- Cancer is an uncontrolled growth of cells that can occur due to mutations in oncogenes or by tumor suppressor genes or both.
