AI predicts pancreatic cancer up to 3 years in advance, study finds.
An AI tool can predict whether someone will get pancreatic cancer up to three years in advance, according to a new study. The study used data from millions of patients in Denmark and the US, and researchers applied an AI algorithm to clinical data from 9 million patients. The AI tool can detect who is at risk for the deadly disease by using the patient’s medical records. The technology is still in its early stages and still needs to undergo many more tests. Pancreatic cancer is one of the most deadly cancers and is very hard to detect early, which is when it has the potential to be curable.
