Patients with breast and lung cancer are at increased risk of cardiotoxicity, or heart-related damage caused by cancer treatments, because of the proximity of the heart, lungs and breasts. Cardiotoxicity increases the risk of heart attacks, heart failure and other cardiac conditions. Looking for evidence of cardiac disease in these patients requires reading through hundreds of patients' health records, which is often too time-consuming to be practical.
AI System Enhances Detection of Cardiac Risks in Cancer Patients
A new large language model-based system has been developed to identify cardiac event data in electronic health records of cancer patients, particularly those with breast and lung cancer who are at higher risk of cardiotoxicity. This innovation could streamline the process of detecting heart-related issues in these patients, which is significant for improving patient care. In Iran, where cancer treatment is a growing concern, such advancements could enhance healthcare outcomes.
