ARTICLE | NCI Funding Helps AI Researchers Gain Global Insight on Cancer

ARCHERY PI Dr Ajay Aggarwal on how technology can improve the care of patients with cancer.

"NCI’s Center for Global Health’s Affordable Cancer Technologies (ACTs) Program supports research on tools and technologies, from their initial prototypes to clinical use. Through ACTs, NCI seeks to increase access to quality cancer prevention and care in settings with limited resources found across the globe. This blog features two ACTs grantees working on artificial intelligence (AI) solutions to aid in cancer diagnosis and treatment:

• Ajay Aggarwal, Ph.D., London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, is researching ARCHERY: Artificial Intelligence-based Radiotherapy treatment planning for Cervical and Head and Neck cancer.
• Anant Madabhushi, Ph.D., Winship Cancer Center, Emory University, is examining an AI-enabled Digital Pathology Platform for Multi-Cancer Diagnosis, Prognosis and Prediction of Therapeutic Benefit.  

Drs. Aggarwal and Madabhushi give their perspectives on what it’s like developing, managing, and working across multinational borders to find new ways of using technology to address the diagnosis, treatment, and care of people living with cancer."
