AI Tool Predicts Colon Cancer Survival, Treatment Response
New AI tool accurately predicts both overall survival and disease-free survival after colorectal cancer diagnosis.

The new model could help augment clinical decision-making.
Because the AI tool relies on images alone, it could be particularly valuable for hospitals lacking the technology or expertise to perform sophisticated genomic profiling of tumor tissues.
