Using AI to detect stomach cancer during endoscopy
Update: 2025-08-13
Description
How can artificial intelligence (AI) support both cancer research and healthcare more generally? Anoushka Harit (University of Cambridge) and Dr Zhongtian Sun (University of Kent) join today's episode to discuss this topic.
Anoushka talks about her research in hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC) and the development of an AI system to enable early detection of signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) during endoscopy. This new AI system could help to treat SRCC better or to prevent or delay drastic life-changing treatment, preserving patients' quality of life.
Zhongtian shares insights on how AI can support health applications more generally and how he tries to make it as explainable as possible. He even talks about his wish to make the AI mimic as much as possible the way a human brain works!
