The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Personalized Treatment

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the management of blood cancer by personalizing treatment based on individual patient data. One notable application is a treatment infection model for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) developed at Copenhagen University Hospital, which uses machine learning to analyze various data points to predict patients' risk of severe infections. The model incorporates 80 key variables, simplifying decision-making for healthcare providers. By identifying specific risk factors tied to individual patients, this approach fosters tailored treatment plans rather than relying solely on generalized risk assessments.
