Deep Learning based platform for oral cancer detection and recurrence prediction

Why 9DA?

The Clinical Challenge

  • Lack of Reliable Prediction MethodsPredicting outcomes and recurrence risk after oral cancer treatment remains a significant challenge. Current pathological information (LVI, ENE, or BNI) is informative, but not indicative enough for accurate recurrence prediction.
  • Shortage of pathologists and limited resourcesEven experienced clinicians cannot reliably determine prognosis using pathological information such as lymphovascular invasion (LVI), extracapsular nodal extension (ENE), or perineural invasion (BNI). These features, while informative, are not indicative for accurate recurrence prediction.
  • Variability in Pathological AssessmentDifferent pathologists often reach different diagnostic conclusions on the same tissue sample. This interobserver variation can lead to missed early signs of malignancy and delayed treatment initiation.

Our Approach

9DA has developed a deep learning-based platform for oral cancer diagnosis and recurrence prediction, which reduces the workload of existing clinical staff and enhances patient treatment outcomes.

Our Vision

We are building a deep learning platform that assists clinicians make faster, more accurate treatment decisions for oral cancer patients.

Diagnosis for Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Our promising diagnosis app (LNTD) can classify patients into cancer case and non-cancer case, relieving the burden and stress of healthcare systems.

Our models achieved 98.6% accuracy and 98.8% confidence.

Prognosis Prediction for Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Medical professionals can use our prognosis app (MILP) to monitor the post-treatment status of oral cancer patients, keeping them away from cancer to feel the true joy of life.

Our models achieved 95% accuracy with 94.4% confidence. With 9DA MILP, 86% of patients with oral cancer recurrence can be detected.
