Chinese scientists create AI tool predicting liver cancer recurrence

Chinese scientists have created an AI tool called TIMES that predicts liver cancer recurrence with 82.2% accuracy. This tool is the first to use spatial immune data to assess the likelihood of relapse. Liver cancer has a high postoperative recurrence rate, making accurate predictions essential. TIMES analyzes immune cell distribution patterns in tumors, highlighting the importance of their spatial organization. The tool was developed using samples from 61 patients and is now available online for global users to evaluate risk by uploading images. The researchers aim to assist doctors in personalizing treatments, especially in areas with limited resources.
