Descripción del proyecto
Predicción del resultado estético de la cirugía del cáncer de mama
El tratamiento del cáncer de mama suele consistir en una intervención quirúrgica que varía en función del tumor, el tamaño y la forma de las mamas o los deseos personales. La intervención conservadora de la mama y la mastectomía con o sin reconstrucción mamaria o la extirpación de ganglios linfáticos son algunas de las opciones disponibles. Además, puede aplicarse radioterapia para optimizar el control locorregional. Sin embargo, actualmente no hay forma de recapitular el resultado estético tras los tratamientos locorregionales para el cáncer de mama. En el proyecto CINDERELLA, financiado con fondos europeos, proponen crear una aplicación basada en la inteligencia artificial y fácil de usar que emplee una base de datos clínicos y realice cotejos de imágenes y datos biométricos a fin de crear imágenes que simulen para la paciente el resultado de la intervención. La plataforma denominada «CINDERELLA APProach» reforzará el papel de las pacientes en la toma de decisiones clínicas.
Objetivo
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer, with an estimated 2.3 million new cases per year globally. Approximately 90% of these patients will undergo breast surgery with/without radiation (locoregional treatment). Different surgical techniques can be offered to the patient, each leading to completely different aesthetic outcomes. Moreover, for different patients, undergoing the same surgery, the aesthetic outcome could be completely different based on individual patient's factors (e.g age, body habitus). In the CINDERELLA project, we will be using the BreLO AI system (an artificial intelligence-based tool for classification of aesthetic outcomes and matching data and photographs) integrated in CANKADO (a cloud-based healthcare platform) to create an easy-to-use application that can be used on any electronic device, to simulate visually to the patient the aesthetic outcome of a certain surgery. The CINDERELLA APProach is unique as it uses a clinical database and performs biometric matching, to create images that simulate to the patient the outcome of surgery. In the CINDERELLA trial (running during the project) we plan to compare if the application helped to fulfil the expectation and lead to a better quality of life. By feeding new clinical and photographic information to the CINDERELLA APProach after surgery, the artificial intelligence platform will be able to improve for the next cases. This trial will be practice-changing in the field of patient education and shared decision making. CINDERELLA platform will help to overcome any miscommunication and potential boundaries in patient's or physician's understanding of the potential outcomes of locoregional treatment of breast cancer. We believe that the CINDERELLA APProach will be used in the future to other locoregional treatments that might change patients aesthetic appearance. Thus, CINDERELLA APProach will be the forerunner for new innovative tools for communicating with our patients.
