AI-Driven Risk Prediction Tool (TSP-9) Informs Risk-Aligned Care for Patients with Barrett’s Esophagus
<b>Background and Clinical Significance</b>: Barrett's esophagus (BE) is the precursor to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Accurately predicting which patients with BE are at the highest risk of progressing to EAC is a significant clinical challenge. This article discusses how the tissue systems pathology test (TSP-9, TissueCypher) can help guide risk-aligned care for patients with BE. TSP-9 is an AI-driven prognostic test that stratifies patients with BE for risk of progression to high-grade dysplasia (HGD)/EAC. <b>Case Report Presentation</b>: Three clinically low-risk patients had esophageal biopsies tested by TSP-9. The real-world utility of TSP-9 is demonstrated through a brief discussion of how the test was utilized to assess each patient's personalized risk of BE progression to HGD/EAC and inform risk-aligned care. <b>Conclusions</b>: The use of validated AI-powered tools such as TSP-9 is poised to become standard practice in gastroenterology clinical settings and will help improve health outcomes for patients with BE to prevent EAC-related mortality.
