The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine is beginning to emerge with cutting-edge solutions. In the case of Wilfried, a patient in his fifties, it was an AI that detected the origin of his cancer despite medical examinations.
Wilfrid lives in Cherbourg. In 2019, he is teaching a class when he suddenly has a seizure. When he wakes up in the hospital, he finds out that he has cancer and that he has two brain tumors.
He was successfully operated on but unfortunately the tumors appeared in both his brain and back. In view of the extent of the tumors, the medical profession decided to start chemotherapy treatment. Wilfrid then integrates the CAPI protocol – Cancer with Unknown Primary History, which uses AI.
Get familiar with the tool as quickly as possible
In this way, the AI was able to determine what the doctors could not say for sure. In December 2022, the AI deduces by 90% that the kidneys are the cause of cancer. The software develops hypotheses from a database in which more than 20,000 RNA profiles of different tumors have been entered.
For her, the medical profession must appropriate the tool as quickly as possible: “We must be able to use this tool as we learned to use a stethoscope, radiology machines.”
It also highlights that it will be necessary to be able to identify the limits and biases of artificial intelligence machines. So far, 80 people have integrated the CAPI protocol.
