Using deep learning, @theabzlab at @LurieCancer @NorthwesternMed developed iSeg, an #AI tool that can match doctors in accurately mapping lung tumors for radiation therapy and identify areas that some doctors may miss. news.feinberg.northwestern.edu/2025/07/01/ai-… @NUFeinbergMed #radonc #lungcancer
New AI Tool Enhances Precision of Lung Cancer Radiation Therapy An #AI tool has matched physicians in mapping #lungtumors for radiation therapy and may identify tumor regions some doctors miss @theabzlab @NorthwesternMed #precisionmedicine hubs.li/Q03vfM5C0
We’re thrilled to share new research led by Dr. Shuhua (Steve) Zheng, one of our outstanding trainees in Radiation Oncology at Northwestern University, that may shift how we think about preoperative decision-making in pancreatic cancer. In this study, Dr. Zheng and team…
We developed a mahine learning model to fine tune the risk classification of #PDAC. Thanks @theabzlab @Dr.Hayes for the support. PanScore identifies oncult metastatic patients for treatment planning. #northwesternmed ejcancer.com/article/S0959-…
It's out! Using deep learning, we addressed one of radiation oncology’s toughest challenges: accurate and automated tumor delineation. Our model segments lung tumors in motion with near-expert accuracy—scalable, reproducible, and ready for the clinic. rdcu.be/et5U0
Watch our model in action below. It’s fast, accurate, and designed to change how we target tumors in real-world settings. Proud of our team @NorthwesternMed @LurieCancer This is worth a look: rdcu.be/et5U0 #AIinHealthcare #LungCancer #RadiationOncology #DeepLearning…
Our study made the cover of @CR_AACR! Congrats Faith Ryu (a talented ACRC @StanfordRadOnc heading to medical school next year) on this beautiful artwork showing the effect of #radiotherapy on #sarcoma evolution. A 🧵 of key findings from the most recent story from the lab. (1/8)
Far more common than either of these outcomes is that you get a string of Nature papers, launch of field, attract $$$$$ of funding, found a startup, IPO, retire to Carmel and everyone only figures out it was all bullshit when Elizabeth Bik notices duplicated bands in the original…
If you do something bizarre in science or medicine it goes one of two ways A) you disgrace yourself, waste your time on nonsense,ruining your career B) You change the world for discovering something truly amazing Which way will go for for the "ivermectin for cancer" people?

What is a proton made of? Early scattering experiments probing the substructure of the proton found an interesting result. Instead of being made just from point-like particles (quarks), there seemed to be more going on inside the proton A🧵1/6
Amazing work presented by @theabzlab at the #ESTRO24 spatial biology session ⚡SCLC cells have distinct transcriptional states ⚡states have differential susceptibility to chemo / ICPi ⚡SCLC cells switch states naturally & this is druggable @NorthwesternU
Our new analysis of ChatGPT’s performance answering rad onc patient questions, using both computational metrics + clinician evaluations! Highlights potential for AI LLMs to be integrated into the clinical workflow for patient education @LurieCancer @NUFeinbergMed @theabzlab
A large language model provided mainly highly accurate and complete responses in a similar format to virtual communications between a patient and clinicians in a radiation oncology clinical environment. ja.ma/4agYscJ
Congrats @lesagniksarkar and Zhuoyang Zou for your excellent presentations @ #CoDEx 2024! Two new DNN models (toxicity prediction and lung cancer target segmentation) are coming to an information system near you.
A huge welcome to Jared, Abdul, & Andrew! We are so excited for you to join the Northwestern family! 🥳🙌 @George_E_Naoum @zheng_shuhua @JamesRandallMD1 @AmishiBajajMD @EricNesbitMD @Tarita_ThomasMD @SeanSachdevMD @theabzlab @LGharzai @JBStraussMD @EricDonnellyMD @timothy_sita
Excited to share our work showing the first validation of surrogate endpoints in HPV+ oropharyngeal cancer! We show that LRPFS, DMFS, and PFS correlate with 5yr OS. Important for trial design in this evolving dx space @MierzwaMichelle @StatMatt9 @NRGonc sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Great to see this in print. Congrats @xrtGenomics @imrtlee and team!
1/N Finally out!! -- 30Gy for HPV+OPC in @JCO_ASCO – work by the @MSKCancerCenter Head and Neck team, led by @imrtlee, Eric Sherman, and myself on using hypoxia imaging response to cut treatment 60% (70->30Gy)! #radonc #hncsm ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JC…
