NASA use space technology for cancer research

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has invested billions of dollars in space exploration. This investment has come back to Earth to benefit the medical community. NASA's complex machine learning algorithms used to analyze the astrophysical similarities among galaxies such as NGC 3718 and NGC 3729 are now used for studying cancer. The algorithms improve the extraction of patterns from complex data sets and help in the analysis of cancer. NASA's involvement in cancer research is not new, though.
