Cancer generally occurs because of the rapid (uncontrollable ) cell growth in our body. When genetic information is mutated ,cell growth occurs rapidly and leads to the formation of tumor(over growth of cells) .Typically tumors are of two types
-benign (doesn't spread to other tissues )
-malignant ( spreads to other tissues of the body and is harmful ).
Diagnosing cancer :
Cancer is diagnosed in many ways by the doctors but in rare and the rarest cases doctors make some wrong diagnosis.
A recently developed AI(Artificial Intelligence) in China, Biomind has diagnosed brain tumours with 87% accuracy and the medical professionals could dignose with 66% accuracy.
Moreover AI took 15 minutes to diagnose 225 cases while doctors took 15 more. It has also defeated top doctors of china in correct diagnosis of tumour in a margin of one or two.
AI might soon help in the treatment of diseases. Maybe no patient would die of the wrong treatment from then.
