Pancreatic Cancer Risk Detected by AI-Based Model

An artificial intelligence (AI) model programmed using sequential health data extracted from electronic health records detected a subset of persons with a 25-fold danger of developing pancreatic cancer between 3 and 36 months, according to findings showcased at the 2022 Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) that was held from April 8th to 13th. At the moment, there are no reliable biomarkers or screening tools that can detect pancreatic cancer early. The purpose of this study was to develop an artificial intelligence tool that can help clinicians identify people at high risk for pancreatic cancer so they can be enrolled in prevention or surveillance programs and hopefully benefit from early treatment. Bo Yuan presented the study. Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive form of cancer that is frequently diagnosed at later stages because of the absence of early symptoms and thus has a comparatively poor prognosis, said Davide Placido, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Copenhagen and the study's co-first author.
