Banner text: Living Room Series on-demand access. Unlocking the Mysteries of Artificial Intelligence and Big Data in GI Cancer Treatment.

Watch the webinar now

View our free webinar and hear from GI cancer experts explaining what Artificial Intelligence and Big Data mean for patients?

In this Living Room Series webinar, Chair of the GI Cancer Institute Dr Lorraine Chantrill and guest speakers Dr Hui-li Wong and Associate Professor Vicki Whitehall explain how advances in technology is influencing current and future GI treatment options.

GI cancer is pervasive and incredibly complex. Treating patients requires health practitioners to consider an enormous amount of data – often too much for clinicians to analyse on their own. To accelerate the development of better cancer treatments, researchers are building tools that can quickly draw meaningful insights from cancer data.

In addition to Big Data, in recent years several applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) have emerged in the GI cancer field based on its efficient computational power and learning capabilities such as image-based diagnosis and prognosis prediction. AI-assisted diagnosis includes pathology, endoscopy and computerised tomography.

Hear the panel iscuss what AI and Big Data means for patients:

  • Faster, and increased accuracy in diagnosis
  • More information to provide tailor-made, and precisely targeted treatments
  • Early detection and increased survival rates.

Dr Lorraine Chantrill

Dr Lorraine Chantrill, Chair

Head of Service, Medical Oncology
Illawarra Shoalhaven Local Health District

Dr Chantrill is a key opinion leader and expert in the field of pancreas cancer. She is the Lead Investigator on the GI Cancer Institute NEO-IMPACT clinical trial for pancreatic cancer. She believes clinical trials are not only vital for research but offer hope to patients. Lorraine has served on the AGITG Upper GI Working Party since inception in 2011 and has chaired the Working Party 2014-2019. She was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Australian Gastro-Intestinal Trial Group (AGITG) and GI Cancer Institute in August 2016 and in May 2020 became the first female Chair of the AGITG and GI Cancer Institute.

Dr Hui-li Wong, Guest Speaker

Clinical Research Fellow, Personalised Oncology
Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research

Dr Wong is a medical oncologist with expertise in GI cancers. She is involved in clinical and translational research in colorectal and pancreatic cancers. Her research interest lies in understanding the biology of cancer and how this affects the treatment and disease course for individual patients.

Associate Professor Vicki Whitehall, Guest Speaker

Honorary Associate Professor, School of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine
Queensland University

A/Prof Whitehall has researched the molecular basis of colorectal cancer for the past 20 years. She has contributed key conceptual advances to understanding the evolution of colorectal polyp subtypes to clinically relevant groups of colorectal cancers. Her research findings together with active clinical collaborations with gastroenterologists, pathologists and oncologists, have contributed to altered clinical guidelines for the management of colorectal polyps and cancers.
