Researchers at the Mayo Clinic and collaborators developed an AI model that identified pancreatic cancer on routine CT scans an average of 475 days before official diagnosis.
The findings, published in the journal Gut, suggest the technology could enable earlier detection and intervention for one of the deadliest cancers.
Early identification of pancreatic cancer may significantly improve patient outcomes, as the disease is often diagnosed at an advanced stage due to subtle early symptoms.
