Federated Artificial Intelligence Framework for Optimizing Pancreatic Cancer Treatment

The “FAIrPaCT” research network, funded by the BMBF under the National Decade Against Cancer initiative, aims to develop a federated AI software system to predict the success of individual pancreatic cancer treatments and identify factors that improve therapy effectiveness. With insights gained from analyzing molecular mechanisms, the project strives for advanced, personalized medications and treatment strategies. Utilizing federated learning, FAIrPaCT leverages diverse data sets, including clinical and molecular data from Germany’s largest patient cohorts, while ensuring high data protection standards by analyzing data across devices without central storage. The network collaborates with major German medical centers, including the University Medical Center Göttingen and the University Hospital of Gießen and Marburg, to harness unique and extensive data for their groundbreaking work.

    About the Project

    The “FAIrPaCT” research network is funded by the BMBF as part of the National Decade Against Cancer and aims to develop a software system that can individually predict the probability of success of pancreatic cancer therapies. This should increase the chances of effective treatment. In addition, factors could be identified that positively influence the effectiveness […]

    Project goals

    Artificial intelligence for better therapies. The research team now wants to analyze this data together. The software system that medical IT specialists develop on this basis should be able to estimate the probability of success for specific treatment approaches. Since the data comes from three different locations, the calculations go beyond the boundaries of one location. In the future, the system will be usable regardless of…
