AI scientists and clinical researchers have worked together to develop a new early screening method to detect pancreatic cancer. It could help save thousands of lives every year, with the difficulty in diagnosing pancreatic cancer making it one of the deadliest cancers. — SCMP
An artificial intelligence tool developed by Chinese scientists has led to a breakthrough in early-stage screening of one of the most fatal cancers.
Pancreatic cancer, often called the “king of cancers”, has an average five-year survival rate of less than 10%. It killed Apple co-founder Steve Jobs in 2011, and more recently, it was the cause of death last month of Wu Zunyou, chief scientist at the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention.
