The Addario Lung Cancer Medical Institute (ALCMI) is a non-profit international consortium comprised of over 25 of the world's premier oncology research institutions. We fund and support investigator-led lung cancer clinical trials.

Researchers at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center and Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University have developed an AI-powered tool that can predict treatment response in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer before a single dose of chemotherapy is given. #lungcancer

New AI tool predicts whether aggressive small cell lung cancer will respond to treatment

Results of a new study conclude that a pathology tool powered by artificial intelligence can predict whether a patient with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer will respond to platinum-based…
