A machine learning model that uses DNA methylation patterns may help identify the origin of cancers of unknown primary

medicalxpress - A machine learning model analyzing CpG-based DNA methylation accurately predicted the origin of many different cancer types in patients with cancers of unknown primary (CUP), according to research presented at the American Association for Cancer Research …

AI Summary: A machine‑learning model trained on DNA methylation signatures can assign tissue‑of‑origin for cancers of unknown primary with promising accuracy. The approach could speed diagnosis, guide therapy choices and reduce reliance on invasive tests—handy when a tumor refuses to tell doctors where it came from.
