Podcast Explores NCI’s AI-Powered Support for Cancer Screenings and Strategies to Alleviate Cancer Burden

Want to hear how artificial intelligence (AI) can improve cancer screening methods and, in turn, enhance patient outcomes? Listen to the latest episode of the Cancer HealthCast podcast where the Director of NCI’s Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS), Dr. Katrina Goddard, shares key insights on this topic.

Key Takeaways

  • DCCPS focuses on ways to reduce the burden of cancer across the U.S. population through research and grant management.
  • Cancer mortality rates have been steadily declining, with DCCPS using models to identify which interventions have contributed to this progress.
  • A recent study highlights the vital role screenings and prevention have played in reducing cancer mortality over the past 40 years.
  • The Cancer Intervention and Surveillance Modeling Network is a group of NCI-sponsored researchers who use simulation modeling to improve our understanding of cancer control interventions in prevention, screening, treatment, and effects on population trends in incidence and mortality.
  • AI is analyzing large data sets to detect patterns, which could improve how we identify individuals who need screening.
  • DCCPS is exploring biomarkers, new treatments, and preventative measures to reduce the incidence of cancer from the outset.
