Doctors seek help on cancer treatment from IBM supercomputer:
"IBM's Watson supercomputer has beaten expert "Jeopardy" quiz show
contestants, and its predecessor defeated a world chess champion. Now, doctors
hope it can help them outsmart cancer.
Oncologists at two medical groups have started to test IBM's Watson's
supercomputer system in an effort to improve speed and efficacy of treatments,
the company said on Friday.
The Maine Center for Cancer Medicine and Westmed Medical Group will begin
testing an application based on Watson's cognitive computing to help diagnose
lung cancer and recommend treatment, IBM said."
