Predicting tumor chemosensitivity and relapse risk using Deep Learning

Our solution revolutionizes the prediction of response to treatment and the risk of relapse, bringing a considerable advance to current medical practices.

By combining the latest technological innovations with morphological analysis of tumors via Deep Learning algorithms, we offer a high-performance, accessible and easily integrable approach to more precise and personalized diagnosis. Join us in the transformation of diagnostic medicine and guarantee every patient the optimal treatment from day one.

Current challenges

Histological analysis remains the cornerstone of cancer treatment, providing precise identification of tumors through rigorous microscopic examination. This process is essential for adjusting treatments and ensuring optimal patient follow-up. However, traditional morphological classifications, such as SBR grading or AJCC stage for breast cancer (Valderrama et al., 2024), do not always reflect the actual response to treatment, thus limiting the chances of therapeutic success for some patients.

Classical approaches

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and gene panels, applied to tumors or liquid biopsies, have transformed the management of cancer patients. These cutting-edge methods offer precise, personalized data to improve therapeutic outcomes (Smith et al., 2022; Johnson et al., 2023). However, they neglect an essential dimension: the histological analysis of tissues. Despite their innovation, these tools remain costly (several thousand euros per test), are limited by the small amount of tumor material available, and still present challenges in terms of accuracy and reliability (Norton et al., 2023).

Solution

Prediction of chemosensitivity, DFS (Disease Free Survival) and OS (Overall Survival) from AI histology analysis.

Accessibility

Can be performed on the basis of the initial diagnostic examination.

Economical

Just a few hundred euros.

Performance

Complete medical reporting to offer cutting-edge customized medicine from the day of diagnosis.

Our Technology

State-of-the-art Deep Learning

Chemo-prAIdict combines state-of-the-art proprietary algorithms based on weakly supervised and self supervised deep learning, combined with traditional machine learning and contextual molecular pathways, ensuring performances and fine-grained predictions for high precision diagnostics. (Valderrama et al. 2024)

Associated Survival Status

Robustness

Our algorithms undergo rigorous testing on extensive external cohorts to ensure their reliability and accuracy. They are evaluated for biological consistency, which involves predicting patient outcomes using different samples to account for tumor heterogeneity.

Additionally, our algorithms are assessed for technical variability by being tested on different scanners, confirming their scanner-agnostic capabilities and ensuring robust technical correlation. This comprehensive validation process underscores our commitment to delivering precise and consistent diagnostic solutions.

Algorithm steps

Expert control

Chemo-prAIdict’s ergonomic design allows even first-time users to confidently manage the system, enabling quick and efficient analysis without compromising accuracy. Ideal for seamless integration into medical professionals’ diagnostic workflow.

Breast-NEOprAIdict

The first software in our Chemo-prAIdict range covers all early breast cancers treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (HER2+, HER2-/ER+, TN). Compared with standard classification (molecular, AJCC, SBR), our biopsy analysis solution is extremely powerful:

MethodsOR (95% CI)AUCP
HER2+2.70 (1.08 - 6.76)0.670.0358
HER2-/RH+20.56 (1.14-371.74)0.870.00413
TNBC3.02 (1.18-7.74)0.710.0206

We were able to test our solution on a cohort (compared with the standard classification):

  • for HER2+ tumors: 3.63 more chances of detecting chemosensitive tumors.
  • for TNBC: 2.03 more chances of detecting chemosensitive tumors.
  • for luminal tumours (ER+/HER2-): 20.56 more chances of detecting the chemosensitive tumour.

These excellent results are the subject of further studies to further improve our performance and our level of clinical proof. We have also been able to initiate development programs in other pathologies, such as ovarian cancer and Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
