A 13-year-old boy from Oregon has won the Young Scientist Challenge by inventing an artificial intelligence treatment for pancreatic cancer. Rishab Jain created an algorithm to improve cancer treatment by using AI to locate and track the pancreas in real time. A prime challenge in radiation treatment is locating the pancreas itself, which is often obscured by the stomach or other organs, resulting in healthy cells being inadvertently hit. Rishab's algorithm improves accuracy and increases the impact of radiation treatment, according to organizers of the competition. The seventh grade student said he started the project last year, when he learned that pancreatic cancer, the third-leading cause of cancer deaths, is devastating and fast-growing.
