Research news AI technology to help analyze colonoscopies [David Hockenbery]Endoscopists who perform colonoscopies are trained to zoom in on the nooks and crannies of the colon, the glossy pink five-foot-long tunnel that snakes through the abdomen. They are on the prowl for polyps, small clumps of cells that may turn cancerous if not removed. They are more likely to miss polyps that are flat and don't stick up into the middle of the colon, increasing the chance that an undetected polyp may develop into colon cancer. These stealth polyps are a perfect match for GI Genius, a new artificial intelligence (AI) technology that Fred Hutch is using to read colonoscopy scans. It works by analyzing every image projected on a screen during a colonoscopy. If something appears elevated or depressed, it will put a green square around what it thinks is a polyp. "We are early adopters, and we are already seeing that AI can really help," said Dr. David Hockenbery, professor (Gastroenterology) and medical director of the procedure suite and head of gastroenterology and hepatology at Fred Hutch Cancer Center. Read the full story from Hutch News. ________________________________ Global Innovation Research Award [Susan Wong]Congratulations to Dr. Susan Wong, associate professor (Nephrology) who has received a tier 2 research award from the UW Global Innovation Fund for her project ?Building robust models of conservative kidney management.?

Clinical news New colorectal cancer cases still trending younger [Rachel Issaka and David Hockenbery]Adults under age 50 are part of a large wave of cases of colorectal cancer, which is on track to becoming the leading cause of cancer deaths for this age group by 2030. A full explanation for the increased incidence eludes experts, but a Westernized diet appears to be an influential factor, says Dr. Rachel Issaka, associate professor (Gastroenterology). "Over the past three decades, colorectal cancer cases have doubled in people under age 50." Early detection is key, says Dr. David Hockenbery, with recommended colon cancer screenings beginning at age 45, and even earlier for those with a family history of colorectal cancer or colon polyps.

Research news Ovarian cancer vaccine [Nora Disis]The Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer Research, in partnership with Washington state's Andy Hill Cancer Research Endowment (CARE) Fund, has awarded Dr. Mary (Nora) Disis, professor (Hematology and Oncology) and director of the UW Cancer Vaccine Institute, a $300,000 grant to advance the development of a vaccine designed to prevent ovarian cancer's metastatic spread. Recurrent ovarian cancer that is resistant to chemotherapy is especially difficult to treat. Dr. Disis is optimizing an ovarian cancer vaccine that has been shown to inhibit tumor growth and make tumors more sensitive to chemotherapy. She will compare standard needle-based injection with an innovative vaccine delivery method that delivers DNA on gold beads through the skin and improves mucosal immunity. Her hypothesis is that this gold bead delivery method is a better way to vaccinate and may lead to a stronger anti-cancer immune response. If successful, this research will pave the way to a clinical trial for the vaccine.
