A breast cancer diagnosis can bring a terrifying question: Will chemotherapy save my life, or will I endure its painful side effects without any benefit? In this video, influencer Aija Mayrock goes inside the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology with Dr. Gil Shamai to explore an AI breakthrough that could help doctors answer that question. After dedicating approximately 30,000 hours to this research, Gil and his team developed an AI model that analyzes tumor tissue images to predict whether breast cancer will return and whether chemotherapy is likely to help.
Validated using data from more than 10,000 patients in a major clinical trial, the technology could help spare patients unnecessary treatment, reduce the financial burden of cancer care and make personalized treatment more accessible worldwide. Watch Aija’s conversation with Dr. Shamai to discover how Technion researchers are harnessing AI to transform breast cancer treatment and potentially change millions of lives.
