AI system identifies genes that can convert brain cancer cells into functioning immune cells in mice

AI test is equivalent to Oncotype DX at predicting breast cancer recurrence, study shows

COTA Inc., PreciseDx, and Baptist Health South Florida announced study results validating that the artificial intelligence-enabled PreciseBreast test is equivalent to the Oncotype DX test at predicting breast cancer recurrence. The research was presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.

Genetic disposition increases the risk of breast cancer metastasis

For over 50 years, scientists have been on a quest to identify which malignant mutations within the tumor allow rogue cells to break away from the primary tumor and travel through the bloodstream and lymphatic system to metastasize throughout the body. Now, new research suggests an alternative mechanism has been overlooked—elusive mutations driving metastasis may not be developing within the twisted DNA of tumors themselves, but within the patient’s regular, inherited DNA.

Genetic mutations accumulate in smokers with MDS, study shows

Smokers with myelodysplastic syndromes or a precursor condition had elevated levels of genetic mutations linked to the disease, a new study shows. The study also found that heavier smokers accumulated more mutations, and long-term smokers were more likely to show disease progression.

Cedars-Sinai to develop AI tool that predicts pancreatic cancer risk in Black patients

Cedars-Sinai investigators who previously developed an imaging tool that used artificial intelligence to predict pancreatic cancer are now working to adapt that tool specifically for Black patients, who have disproportionately high rates of the disease.
