Machine learning uses lung cancer scans to predict heart damage

As patients with lung cancer live longer, the risk of long-term cardiac side effects of radiation therapy has been increasing, despite advances that reduce the radiation dose to the heart. New research uses machine learning to mine data from standard lung-cancer scans and predict patients most likely to have heart damage from radiation treatment later in life. If confirmed by future tests, this approach could identify at-risk patients and ensure they are appropriately monitored before their condition becomes debilitating. Along with chemotherapy, radiation therapy remains the definitive and standard of Read More
