Pancreatic Cancer: New AI Tool May Help Detect

Pancreatic cancer has been in the news a lot in recent years. A number of well-known figures have died from this deadly cancer, including Jeopardy host Alex Trebek, singer Aretha Franklin, and Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The 5-year survival rate for people with pancreatic cancer in the United States is 11%, according to the American Society of Clinical Oncology. If caught early, pancreatic cancer is treatable. Experts say that early detection is the best way to improve the chances of survival as the prognosis worsens significantly once the tumor grows beyond 2 centimeters.
