Mayo Clinic has developed an AI system that can detect pancreatic cancer up to 3 years before it’s typically diagnosed.
Let that sink in.
The model analyzes routine CT scans that were originally labeled as normal and finds subtle biological changes that human eyes simply cannot see.
In testing, it identified 73% of future cancer cases early, nearly doubling the detection rate of specialists and performing even better years before diagnosis.
