AI Could Predict Failure of Treatment for Brain Metastases
An artificial intelligence (AI)-based tool can predict local failure (LF) after radiation therapy for brain metastases (BM) using the baseline treatment-planning MRI, a new study suggests. The tool was 83% accurate in predicting treatment failure, while oncologists accurately predict treatment failure about 65% of the time using conventional methods, according to York University, Toronto, Ontario, […]
