MGH Researchers Develop AI Tool To Predict Melanoma Recurrence
Source: The Harvard Crimson, November 2022
A team of scientists at Massachusetts General Hospital has developed a new tool that uses artificial intelligence to predict which patients are most likely to experience a recurrence of melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer.
The study — published on Oct. 31 in the npj Precision Oncology journal — was led by Harvard Medical School professor Yevgeniy R. “Eugene” Semenov, and Guihong Wan, an HMS research fellow.
To develop the tool, the researchers analyzed 1,720 early-stage melanomas from the Mass General Brigham healthcare system and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
