Potential of AI to Improve Cancer Care is Growing Rapidly

Artificial Intelligence has certainly been evolving rapidly with being deployed in almost every field of life. Researchers have not been able to investigate its impact on cancer care, which still remains an area of research. Amid all those concerns, the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2023 in Madrid is set to hold a 4-days session to unveil the potential of AI in cancer care.

Scientists Are Engineering bacteria To Fight Cancer

Scientists are coming up with innovative techniques to use conventionally bad organisms to treat cancers. The aim is to engineer the genomes of bacteria in such a way to cure or treat cancers. If successful, the new way will have an enormous amount of resources in the form of bacteria on our skins, and the outcome is expected to eradicate cancer diseases.
