    The researchers trying to end the cancer treatment guessing game

    There's a phrase that shapes cancer treatment more than most of us realise: “the average patient”. It's who a treatment plan is actually built for - not for the patient specifically, but a statistical composite drawn from clinical trials. And once a patient starts on the recommended drug, it is often eight to twelve weeks before a scan tells you whether it was ever going to work for your tumour, specifically. And the odds aren't great to begin with - roughly 19 out of 20 cancer drugs that enter human trials never make it to approval. Today we're talking to Dr Christoph Meinert, co-founder & CEO of Brisbane-based Gelomics, who’s trying to close that gap. How? He’s using AI to build a digital stand-in for an individual patient's own tumour, so doctors can test treatments on it before they ever test them on the human.
