Staff writer News Corp Australia NetworkMICROSOFT says cancer is like a computer virus and can be solved by cracking the code.The tech giant has revealed details of its latest research, saying it is aiming to "solve cancer using computer science".One of the projects involves using machine learning and natural language processing to help the world's leading oncologists sift through all the research data available and come up with a an individualised cancer treatment for their patients.Another is pairing machine learning with computer vision to give radiologists a more detailed understanding of how their patients' tumours are progressing.

Microsoft scientists are developing computers built from DNA that will spot cancer cells, like these breast cancer ones, and destroy them Getty ImagesMicrosoft has pledged to beat cancer within the next ten years by using computer science rather than medical research.At labs around the world teams of scientists, engineers and programmers hope to solve what decades of traditional research has been unable to crack.As their colleagues develop the latest smartphones, a "small army" of experts will work to end the disease that is expected to kill 12 million people a year by 2030 — by using algorithms and computers.Researchers working for the company's biological computation unit in Cambridge are proving that medicine and computers could go hand in hand.…

Cancer is like a computer virus and can be 'solved' by cracking the code, according to Microsoft.The computer software company says its researchers are using artificial intelligence in a new healthcare initiative to target cancerous cells and eliminate the disease.One of the projects within this new healthcare enterprise involves utilizing machine learning and natural language processing to help lead researchers sift through all the research data available and come up with a treatment plan for individual cancer patients.IBM is working on something similar using a program called Watson Oncology, which analyzes patient health info against research data.

Microsoft is also teaming with the Knight Cancer Institute on AI that would personalize those drug mixes on a patient-by-patient basis.They're primarily focused on acute myeloid leukemia, where you might end up battling multiple leukemias at once -- machine learning could identify just what you're dealing with and treat it accordingly.Another effort would lean heavily on computer vision to understand how a tumor is reacting to treatments.Human doctors can easily identify tumors, Microsoft notes, but they can't always tell how tumors are changing or how they're affecting the health of nearby cells.
