Idea
AI platform predicting cancer mutation progression and severity to recommend treatments for oncologists and researchers
Research Paper
Core Innovation
This paper introduces a novel RNN-based framework that integrates mutation frequency preprocessing with pathway analysis to predict cancer severity and mutation progression. Unlike prior methods relying on manual wet lab data, it offers an efficient, cost-effective AI-driven approach that also recommends treatments by linking predictions to drug-target databases. This end-to-end model uniquely combines time-series mutation data with probabilistic treatment suggestions.

Research Paper Overview
A Novel Recurrent Neural Network Framework for Prediction and Treatment of Oncogenic Mutation Progression
Summary
This paper presents an end-to-end AI framework combining time-series RNN models and pathway analysis to predict cancer severity and mutation progression, enabling treatment recommendations without relying on costly wet lab data. Mutation sequences from TCGA were preprocessed to isolate key mutations, then fed into an RNN for severity prediction. The model integrates RNN outputs with drug-target databases to forecast future mutations and suggest treatments, achieving over 60% accuracy comparable to existing diagnostics. Heatmaps highlight key mutations per cancer stage, supporting the identification of driver mutations efficiently.
