C-Strik: AI powered precision medicine tool for breast cancer

Overview

2.3 million women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year, world wide. One of the main tools to decide the treatment is tumor grade, or aggressiveness of the cancer cells. Yet, the pathologists agree only about 50-60 % of the time on grade scores for these cancers. I have created an AI powered tool, C-Strik to assist pathologists in grading breast cancer consistently using objective criteria, for all the women, regardless of where they are. Additionally, my ultimate aim is to optimize C-Strik to be used as a robust alternative for multigene tests in breast cancer. These tests are used to decide whether a woman will benefit from chemotherapy or not, however, they each cost 5000 CAD and are not accessible in many parts of the world. C-Strik can be an inexpensive and reliable alternative so that no woman is deprived of their optimal treatment choice, ever!
