Machine learning can help select drugs for cancer patients

In 10 seconds? Researchers have developed a machine learning model to predict which immune checkpoint inhibitors could work better in patients with cancer.

Whoa, let’s take it in parts. What are immune checkpoint inhibitors? Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs)are an important class of immunotherapy drugs. These are a type of cancer treatment that primes or helps the patient’s own immune system to identify and destroy tumor cells.
