AI tool predicts side effects in breast cancer patients after surgery and radiotherapy, set for trials in France, the Netherlands, and the UK.

International researchers have developed an AI tool predicting side effects in breast cancer patients after surgery and radiotherapy. The explainable AI tool, set to be trialed in France, the Netherlands, and the UK, will help doctors provide more individualized care to patients. Some known side effects of treatment include scarring, skin changes, heart damage, and lymphoedema, a painful swelling of the arm. The AI tool, trained to predict arm swelling, aims to assist doctors and patients in choosing radiation treatment options and reducing side effects.
