A promising new treatment for neuroblastoma found by a smart algorithm

Using a computer algorithm, scientists at Uppsala University have identified a promising new treatment for neuroblastoma

Article Highlights

Using a computer algorithm, scientists at Uppsala University have identified a promising new treatment for neuroblastoma
This form of cancer in children, which occurs in specialised nerve cells in the sympathetic nervous system, may be life-threatening
This may result in a new form of treatment for children in whom the disease is severe or at an advanced stage
This research group has developed a new computer algorithm capable of combining massive quantities of genetic and pharmacological data (‘big data’) from European and American hospitals and universities
“We were astonished when the algorithm came up with completely new ideas for treatment"
The new treatments were investigated using cell samples from patients and in animal models, where they proved efficacious
The researchers have also developed the computer algorithm to enable it to be applied to other forms of cancer.
“Smart algorithms will be increasingly important in cancer research in the years ahead, since they can help us scientists to find unexpected angles. We’ve already started a major project here in Uppsala, in which several types of cancer in children and adults will be investigated this way. Our hope is that this can result in more unexpected treatment options,” Nelander says.
