thebalanced.newsAI System Detects Pancreatic Cancer Up to Three Years Before Diagnosis
Researchers at the Mayo Clinic and University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed an AI system called REDMOD that can detect pancreatic cancer up to three years before traditional diagnosis by analyzing CT scans for subtle tissue changes. Tested on nearly 1,000 scans, REDMOD identified early signs in about 75% of cases, outperforming specialists. While it flagged some healthy individuals for further testing, this tool offers potential for earlier intervention in a cancer often diagnosed late and with high mortality.
