O study, financed by King's College of London, uses changes in lymph nodes to make predictions. The promising results were published in the Journal of Pathology by Breast Cancer Now last Thursday and reported on Fox News.

The artificial intelligence model developed by researchers in the United Kingdom is like a “learning machine” that receives information about patients' breast cancer and lymph nodes.
It is trained to recognize patterns and correlations in this information. Based on these patterns, the model can help doctors predict whether breast cancer will spread to other parts of the body.
AI model that predicts the spread of cancer can facilitate treatment planning
This is useful because it allows doctors to identify patients who are at increased risk of their cancer spreading and thus plan more appropriate and personalized treatments.

In short, the AI model is like an intelligent assistant for doctors, providing valuable information to help them make more informed decisions in breast cancer treatment.
The researchers tested the AI model on more than 5000 lymph nodes donated by almost 350 patients to biobanks. The results demonstrated the model's ability to predict the spread of triple-negative breast cancer.
The team plans to continue testing the model in medical centers across Europe. The ultimate goal is to develop AI-based software for pathologists to benefit women with this difficult-to-treat type of breast cancer, taking advantage of the technological transition in the National Health Service.
