A group of investigators led by Cedars-Sinai have developed and successfully tested a new artificial intelligence method to make launching cancer clinical trials easier and faster. The method uses patients’ pathology reports to automate the classification of patients by the severity of their cancers, potentially shortening the process of selecting candidates for clinical trials.
FDA recently approved Alternative Standard #25 related to the Mammography Quality Standards Act. Alternative Standard #25 allows the interpreting physician to provide an assessment of “Incomplete: Need additional imaging evaluation” for the follow-up report issued within 30 calendar days of an initial report that received an assessment of “Incomplete: Need prior mammograms for comparison.”
