Chinese AI able to diagnose and identify cancerous prostate samples as well as human doctors

A Chinese research team has come up with an artificial intelligence (AI) to help them diagnose prostate biopsies and identify possible cancers. According to an article on SciMex.org, the AI is as good as a human pathologist. The learning software is said to be able to grade the malignancy of the cancer with significant accuracy. […]

As scientists inch closer to fighting cancer with nanobots, would you embrace having programmable robots in your bloodstream?

Scientists and researchers from the University of Cambridge have revealed that they are currently developing nanotechnology that can “navigate” a patient’s body and help fight cancer. But this effort, while laudable, raises one question: is it feasible to develop this technology instead of merely promoting lifestyle changes that can also prevent cancer? Technology advances by leaps and […]

Scientists are using light for faster, more accurate cancer detection

Researchers from the Rutgers University-New Brunswick have created a very powerful technique to identify tiny tumors and track their growth using light-radiating nanoparticles. This can lead to earlier cancer detection and more targeted treatment, which can ultimately enhance cure rates and survival times of patients. The study, which was published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, demonstrates that the new strategy is better than magnetic resonance imaging […]

That’s hot: New self-regulating nanoparticles heat up to kill cancer cells, then cool before harming healthy tissue

Scientists from the University of Surrey in Guildford, England have given rise to “intelligent” nanoparticles which heat up to a temperature that is high enough to eradicate carcinogenic cells but which then control themselves and lose heat before they get hot enough to harm healthy tissue. This breakthrough is seen as a way to treat […]
