cancer scientists are using AI models to reduce the dosage of toxic chemotherapy due to the smallest amount necessary to still be effective . The researchers at MIT have developed the system for the treatment of glioblastoma , an aggressive form of cancer that affects the brain or spinal cord , which is treated with a combination of radiotherapy and strong drugs which cause debilitating side effects . Their model uses machine learning to examine the treatment regime in use and adjust the dosage until it finds the optimum lowest level whilst still shrinking the tumour by the same amount .
