Thanks to new technologies using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, it is possible to use large amounts of data to try to extract information that can be used for personalized medicine. The great challenge of the future is, on the one hand, to acquire masses of biological data that nowadays are still limited and, on the other hand, to develop innovative strategies to extract information that can then be used for the development of predictive models. From this perspective, we discuss these aspects in the context of triple-negative breast cancer, a tumor where a specific treatment is still lacking and new therapies, such as immunotherapy, are under investigation. Since immunotherapy is already in use for other tumors such as melanoma, we discuss the strengths and weaknesses identified in the use of immunotherapy with melanoma to try to find more successful strategies. It is precisely in this context that AI and predictive tools can be extremely valuable. Therefore, the discoveries and advancements in immunotherapy for melanoma provide a foundation for developing effective immunotherapies for triple-negative breast cancer. Shared principles, such as immune system activation, checkpoint inhibitors, and personalized treatment, can be applied to TNBC to improve patient outcomes and offer new hope for those with aggressive, hard-to-treat breast cancer.

Abstract
Thanks to new technologies using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, it is possible to use large amounts of data to try to extract information that can be used for personalized medicine. The great challenge of the future is, on the one hand, to acquire masses of biological data that nowadays are still limited and, on the other hand, to develop innovative strategies to extract information that can then be used for the development of predictive models. From this perspective, we discuss these aspects in the context of triple-negative breast cancer, a tumor where a specific treatment is still lacking and new therapies, such as immunotherapy, are under investigation. Since immunotherapy is already in use for other tumors such as melanoma, we discuss the strengths and weaknesses identified in the use of immunotherapy with melanoma to try to find more successful strategies. It is precisely in this context that AI and predictive tools can be extremely valuable. Therefore, the discoveries and advancements in immunotherapy for melanoma provide a foundation for developing effective immunotherapies for triple-negative breast cancer. Shared principles, such as immune system activation, checkpoint inhibitors, and personalized treatment, can be applied to TNBC to improve patient outcomes and offer new hope for those with aggressive, hard-to-treat breast cancer.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
