The future of medicine is being redefined by artificial intelligence. From digital twins and precision medicine to AI-driven medical imaging and large language models, cutting-edge technologies are transforming the way we diagnose, treat, and prevent disease.

Sleep disturbances in breast cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy – designed to shrink the tumours prior to surgery – are one of the common side effects of these treatments, which can not only exacerbate other side effects, but also impact prognosis. One of the possible, non-pharmacological strategies to mitigate these disturbances is thought to be physical exercise.

Traditional manual analysis of medical reports is extremely time consuming but crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective patient screening. 

In a recently published scientific study, Luís Elvas - Health Data Engineer in the Breast Cancer Research Programme at the Champalimaud Foundation - and colleagues, have shown that fine-tunning language models can be used for automated analysis of medical reports. This approach can streamline daily clinical workflows, improve categorisation of diseases in patients and offer a tool for new clinical research analysis.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. One of the reasons for this is that it is difficult to detect and diagnose at an early stage because the currently available methods are impracticable at the population level.
