AI model detects signs of faulty DNA repair in ovarian cancer using tissue images
An AI model developed by researchers at King's can detect signs of faulty DNA repair mechanisms in ovarian cancer cells by analyzing tissue images. It accurately recognized tumors with broken DNA repair mechanisms, potentially leading to a low-cost, widely accessible diagnostic tool. This could enable clinicians to choose treatments that exploit this flaw.
