Chinese University of Science and Technology Develops High-Precision AI Diagnostic Tool to Aid in Predicting Liver Cancer Recurrence

The University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) recently announced a significant breakthrough. Professor Sun Cheng's research group and collaborators have successfully developed the "TIMES" scoring system for predicting liver cancer recurrence, and have translated it into a publicly available, free AI diagnostic tool. The findings were published in the international academic journal Nature on March 13th, Beijing time. Liver cancer, the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally, has a recurrence rate of up to 70% after surgical resection. Accurate prediction of liver cancer recurrence has long been a medical challenge. The spatial distribution of immune cells in the tumor microenvironment significantly impacts patient prognosis, but previously...
