AI Predicts Wasting Syndrome In Cancer Patients
- Researchers developed an AI program estimating cancer patients' risk for a serious wasting syndrome called cachexia.
- Current methods detecting cachexia are often inconsistent, subjective, and identify the syndrome too late in progression.
- The AI examines CT scans assessing muscle amount and uses other clinical data judging patient risk.
- The AI detected cachexia with up to 85% accuracy, according to findings presented by lead researcher Sabeen Ahmed.
- Early detection allows interventions helping slow muscle wasting and improve patient quality of life.

Key Takeaways
AI Model Enhances Cancer Cachexia Detection
April 28, 2025, Chicago, Illinois โ A new AI-driven biomarker model presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting could transform the early detection of cancer cachexia, a life-threatening wasting syndrome affecting many cancer patients. By harnessing the power of artificial intelligence to analyze clinical and imaging data, this innovative technology offers hope for earlier interventions, potentially improving โฆ
๐งฌ New AI tool can predict protein form and function in minutes instead of years
Researchers have developed a tool that can quickly analyze and predict protein form and function from DNA sequences.Evo 2 has been trained on nearly 9 trillion nucleotides from about 15,000 eukaryotes (plants and animals) as well as prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea).The tool can generate new genetic sequences that may be useful in biomedicine and biotechnological applications.How Evo 2 worksEvo 2 is an AI tool developed by a team of researchersโฆ
Integrating Exercise and Rehabilitation into Breast Cancer Care: A New
A groundbreaking randomized controlled trial has recently illuminated the promising potential of a pioneering program designed to systematically connect breast cancer patients with tailored exercise and rehabilitation services, beginning at the point of diagnosis and continuing throughout their cancer treatment journey. This innovative approach represents a significant advancement in holistic cancer care, integrating physical activity and therapโฆ
