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…

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

The increasing availability of massive genetic sequencing data in the clinical setting has triggered the need for appropriate tools to help fully exploit the wealth of information these data possess. GFPrint™ is a proprietary streaming algorithm designed to meet that need. By extracting the most relevant functional features, GFPrint™ transforms high-dimensional, noisy genetic sequencing data…

A machine learning (ML) approach for identifying genetic biomarkers and new molecular targets associated with impaired survival of breast cancer patients

BACKGROUND Machine learning (ML) tools are suitable to dive vast amounts of clinical and genetic information in order to identify genetic biomarkers of worse survival and potential new molecular targets. This study has investigated the ability of one such tool to identify genetic biomarkers associated with higher risk of mortality in breast cancer, biomarkers that…

Prospective evaluation of SkinGuard, a deep algorithmic framework for the classification of neoplastic skin lesions

Introduction. Diagnostic errors between nevic lesions and skin tumors are frequent for non-specialist physicians. Therefore, there is a need to create a simple and practical tool based on artificial intelligence to assists them in distinguishing potentially malignant lesions from benign ones, improving early detection of skin cancer. Objective. To evaluate the performance of SkinGuard, an…

Detecting panitumumab/FOLFOX responders in K-Ras wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer through an artificial intelligence-based analytical tool

Background: Patients with K-RAS wild-type (WT) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) are currently considered the optimal candidates for upfront treatment with combinations of chemotherapy and EGFR inhibitors. These combinations significantly extend overall survival (OS) compared to chemotherapy alone. However, a proportion of patients would not achieve this goal. This study has investigated the ability of an…

Use of deep learning frameworks to detect super-responder and super-survivor stage IV squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with a gemcitabine and cisplatin combination

Background: Synthetic fingerprints integrate clinical data within computational models allowing the identification of particular clinical subpopulations at a given moment. We here describe a deep learning strategy to detect super-responder and super-survivor patients with squamous NSCLC by setting up synthetic fingerprints and using unsupervised deep learning frameworks (UDLF). Methods: Through www.projectdatasphere.org, we accessed the control…

Predicting disease progression and mortality in metastatic colorectal cancer patients (mCRC) through an artificial intelligence-based analytical tool

Background: Predicting the clinical course of metastatic disease remains a key challenge in CRC. Estimating prognosis of these late-stage patients can avoid undertreatment or overtreatment and also guide the follow-up intensity. This study has investigated the ability of an artificial intelligence-based analytical tool to identify those mCRC patients with high risk of disease progression and…

Deep Neural Frameworks Improve the Accuracy of General Practitioners in the Classification of Pigmented Skin Lesions

This study evaluated whether deep learning frameworks trained in large datasets can help non-dermatologist physicians improve their accuracy in categorizing the seven most common pigmented skin lesions. Open-source skin images were downloaded from the International Skin Imaging Collaboration (ISIC) archive. Different deep neural networks (DNNs) (n = 8) were trained based on a random dataset…
