Artificial intelligence is being used to detect lung cancer at an early stage

Research of the Institute of Biophysics of ANAS together with the National Oncology Center of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Azerbaijan on human lung carcinoma continues successfully.

Recently, as a result of joint research the article co-authored by general director of the National Oncology Center, Academician Jamil Aliyev, general director of the Institute of Biophysics, corresponding member of ANAS  Oktay Gasimov, researcher of the Institute of Biophysics Arzu Aydamirova, head of the joint laboratory of the National Oncology Center and the Institute of Biophysics Leylakhanim Malikova entitled “Classification of human lung cancer by applying artificial intelligence to the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra of blood plasma” was published in the journal Applied and Computational Mathematics with an impact factor of 3.898 (Clarivate Analytics, 2020) (Appl. Comput. Math, 2021, v.20, 277-289).

This research work was widely discussed at the meetings of the Presidium of ANAS, the Department of Physical, Mathematical and Technical Sciences, as well as the Department of Biological and Medical Sciences and was highly appreciated by the scientific community.

Currently, this work is being developed jointly by the Institute of Biophysics and the National Center of Oncology. The goal is to further improve cancer classification by extending machine learning and applying it to the early detection of lung cancer patients as a non-invasive screening method.
