Owkin’s mesothelioma AI discovers new biomarkers from lung biopsy images

October 11, 2019 By Thomas Lamb

By scanning thousands of tissue samples, [ Owkin’s mesothelioma AI program ] was able to help identify new types of patients with mesothelioma and predict which may respond better to certain therapies.

Using whole biopsy slide images taken from nearly 3,000 patients with the aggressive and potentially fatal disease, [ Owkin’s mesothelioma AI program ] was able to pick out novel biological features of the tumor and link them to its overall prognosis.
