Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the surgical decisions of Watson artificial intelligence in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Hepatectomy is an effective treatment for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, but liver failure after hepatectomy may lead to increased postoperative mortality. Therefore, it is very important to make preoperative surgical decisions, evaluate the safety of the operation and identify which patients are likely to suffer from liver failure. The artificial intelligence platform developed by IBM Watson for Watson tumor treatment decisions can provide treatment decisions and corresponding theoretical basis to guide surgical decisions based on the key clinical data of liver cancer patients.

Intervention Type OTHER

Watson on oncology surgery decision evaluation. The system acquires and evaluates a large amount of structured and unstructured data from previous medical records through machine learning and natural language processing, and USES algorithms to select treatment options as the best choice for a particular patient.
