Harvard study proved that artificial intelligence can detect pancreatic cancer three years before diagnosis. Only about one in eight patients (about twelve percent) receives a diagnosis at this early stage.
If the tumor is not detected so early and can continue to grow, the chance of survival drops to only two to nine percent, according to an earlier study from 2014. AI-based screening of the population could be helpful in finding people at increased risk of this type of cancer, making treatment more efficient. The potential of the technology is great.
