Smarter, personalized diabetes care:
“researchers have trained AI [and] created a tool that looks at simple characteristics, like sex and weight, to match each individual with type 2 diabetes to the blood glucose-lowering drug most likely to work for them.” www.diabetes.org.uk/our-research...

AI in action: [accelerating] the diagnosis of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors using artificial intelligence. "Accelerating and improving diagnostic accuracy is therefore essential to enable faster access to effective treatments and improve patient prognosis." buff.ly/zlWsgme

Research in action: “[using] cells and 3D miniature structures of pancreatic NETs growing in a dish, animal studies and computer-based analyses to understand how HMGB3 interacts with other proteins and influences cancer cell function and response to radiation therapy” buff.ly/7vHefB2

What is neuroendocrine cancer?
“– tumours arising from various hormone-secreting glands in the body. These tumours are difficult to diagnose because they can present with a wide variety of physical signs that are not specific to cancerous tumours.” buff.ly/TjHPLNp

Precision oncology can help identify specific genetic mutations driving tumour growth and show where targeted therapies can have the most success.
"This will not only make treatments more effective, it will also limit the side-effects...” www.marathonofhopecancercentres.ca/our-research...

Precision medicine, or personalized medicine, uses big data to predict the most successful clinical treatment for an individual patient. This helps clinicians find targeted therapies based on the patient’s genomic and other individual characteristics, that minimize side effects and increase success.
