Researchers said that a new Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool could help identify patients at increased risk of side effects from radiation treatment for breast cancer.
Experts at the University of Leicester are among those who are helping to develop the new tool.
They hope it will assist doctors and patients with radiation treatment options.
They added survival rates for breast cancer had risen dramatically.
However they said some patients were at risk of radiation treatment side effects, including skin ulcers and heart damage.
