THE USE OF COGNITIVE TECHNOLOGY FOR ADVANCES IN ONCOLOGY

Abstract

Cancer is a disease that progressively evolves every day. To obtain a diagnosis and, consequently, a treatment for this disease, the doctor needs to explore an enormous amount of data. Often, the specificity of this cellular disorder is something rare, which requires the elaboration of a more aggressive, detailed and innovative treatment plan, performed only a few times. However, the exchange of information on all occurrences of the disease has always been deficient, since cancer presents itself in a multifaceted way and in different stages. Therefore, this article aims to demonstrate the collaboration of cognitive technology in the treatment of such a disease. Through artificial intelligence it is possible to detect and treat cancer, as the computer receives subsidies from the patient's medical record, understands this information, accesses the database and delivers pages of medical literature referring to the specific case and also similar cases, which they serve as a basis, both for the treatment approach, as well as for comparative monitoring of the results of each phase of the disease, and may increase the chances of cure.
