AI Model for Predicting Oncology Treatment Success and Cancer Stage

Objective:

Develop an integrated AI model that utilizes clinical, pathological, genomic data, and image analysis for accurate prediction of oncology treatment success rates and cancer staging. The model enables faster and more accurate diagnosis for cancer stages, provide beneficial insights and predictions towards the treatment procedures. Our aim is to develop a flexible and robust model that is updated with the global health trends and to be used as an analysis tool by professionals.

Development Cycle:

It is of utmost importance that accurate feature engineering is undertaken to provide more accurate co-relations between different factors. Which in turn would enable more accurate predictions by the model.


Following are the steps undertaken for development of treatment success rate predictive model:

Data Collection: Aggregate diverse datasets including clinical records, pathology reports, and genomic profiles of cancer patients.

Feature Engineering: Extract relevant features from clinical, pathological, and genomic data to create a comprehensive dataset for model training.

Data Pre-processing: Address missing values, standardize formats, and normalize data for consistency.

Treatment Success Prediction Model: Model Architecture: Develop a machine learning model, possibly a combination of regression and classification algorithms, to predict the success rate of different oncology treatments.

Integration of Data: Fuse clinical parameters, pathological findings, and genomic information to enhance the model’s predictive capabilities.

Outcome: Provide clinicians with a tool for personalized treatment recommendations based on individual patient profiles.

Following are the steps undertaken for development of cancer stage predictive model:

Image Analysis for Cancer Staging: Microscopic Image Processing: Implement deep learning algorithms to analyse microscopic images of cancer cells and pathological features.

Dataset Labelling: Creating a labelled dataset from microscopic images with different classes based off the morphological factors of the mutated cell.

Stage Prediction Model: Train a model that predicts cancer stage based on the characteristics identified in the microscopic images.

Integration with Clinical Data: Combine image-derived information with clinical, pathological, and genomic data to refine cancer staging predictions

Key Features:
