In a study presented before the American Society of Clinical Oncology, scientists are developing an innovative approach where they believe artificial intelligence outsmarts cancer and they already have seen the impacts of it.
Advanced supercomputing and artificial intelligence outsmarts cancer
This, after US-based biotechnology company Berg presented their early trial data showing that a drug currently under development takes advantage of artificial intelligence to slow down the growth of cancer cells and hopefully even develop ways to use the technology to treat or even prevent cancer.
Researchers are now into advanced stages of clinical trials that involves supercomputing with medicine, as their latest initial results was able to shrink tumours by at least 25%.
The challenge was to develop a way to cross the borders of cancer diagnosis that goes beyond the limits of even the brightest minds, which prompted the researchers at Berg to feed years of medical data into a supercomputer with the aim of accurately measuring the biochemistry of cells.
They were hoping to test the capability of artificial intelligence to come up with a way to suggest a process that would convert a cancer cell back to a healthy one.
The results of the experiment led to the creation of their first drug they named BPM31510, which is aimed to counter the process of the Warburg effect which is a phenomenon where cancer cells change their energy supply.
The researchers were ecstatic to find that their method shrank tumours, based on data they collected from 85 patients, when the tests were initially considered to test only for toxicity.
“I think we’re at a very explosive stage, this fusion of biology with technology in helping us understand the basis of this disease more fundamentally. It’s going to allow us to make better decisions on how we develop drugs, to whom we give these drugs to so that we’re able to increase the survival outcome,” says Dr. Niven Narain, one of Berg’s founders, as he predicted that supercomputers will be the future of cancer treatment and prevention.
The results of the tests are continually being loaded back into the supercomputer to further enhance data-mining capabilities of the artificial intelligence model with hopes ofr further targeting accurate therapeutic treatments to cancer cases.
Experts agree that with this discovery of artificial intelligence outsmarts cancer development, we may soon find ways to make the most of technology and medicine working together to improve and prolong life.
