🗣️Breast cancer in Black African women with Professor David Wedge: How analysing genomics can improve our understanding of the aggressiveness of breast cancer

Stay tuned 👀

#ArtificialIntelligence has helped scientists reveal a new form of aggressive prostate cancer which could revolutionise how the disease is diagnosed and treated in the future.

Prostate #cancer affects one in eight men in their lifetime.

A Cancer Research UK-funded study found prostate cancer, which affects one in eight men in their lifetime, includes two subtypes. Artifical Intelligence makes breakthrough discovery in battle to cure prostate cancer. independent.co.uk/news/science/p…

There are 2 types of prostate cancer based on their evolutionary trajectory ('evotypes') and this has prognostic significance
