Identification of genes related to PD-L1 expression in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumor samples by GFPrint, a machine learning framework (MLF)

Background: The advent of drugs targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 axis has revolutionized NSCLC treatment. Although promising, individual responses to these therapies can vary among individuals, and research is ongoing to better understand the mechanisms involved in PD1/PD-L1 expression to optimize treatment protocols, and identify which patients are most likely to benefit from these therapies. In this…

Development and validation of MOSPROC, an easily applicable predictive score of mortality for patients with prostate cancer

Background: Predicting life expectancy in prostate cancer patients is particularly difficult as different clinical factors significantly influence clinical outcome. Here we have developed MOSPROC, a simplified mortality predictive score to identify prostate cancer patients at high risk of mortality. Methods: The training set (TRS) (n=2,035) included metastatic Castration Resistant PC (mCRPC) patients from 4 randomized…

Ethics or Atics? The role of artificial intelligence in medicine

In an era of technological uncertainty, artificial intelligence (AI) emerges as a revolutionary tool capable of transforming multiple sectors, including medicine. However, it is crucial to understand its role as a complement rather than a substitute for human intelligence and quality, while maintaining the legacy of the Hippocratic method. The era of Artificial Intelligence (AI)…
