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)…

GFPrint and PredLung nominated finalists in the AstraZeneca’s BeLung Innovation challenge

Two machine learning frameworks developed in Topazium, GFPrint™ and PredLung™, have been used to extract important information from cancer patients, in particular from lung cancer patients, that may serve to design better therapies, generate virtual biomarker signatures and predict patient outcomes. Three case studies are presented, focused on i) the discovery of potential novel targets…

GFPrint™: a machine learning tool for transforming genetic data into clinical insights
