Artificial intelligence for earlier detection of pancreatic cancer

A recent presentation at the ESMO (European Society of Medical Oncology) World Congress on Gastrointestinal Cancer, held in Lugano, Switzerland, July 1-4, 2020, indicates that artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining support for earlier detection of pancreatic cancer.  70-80% of pancreatic cancer patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage where treatment may no longer be effective, resulting in only a 6% survival rate 5 years after diagnosis.  The study, conducted on 1,378 pancreatic cancer patients between 15-99 years of age shows that for those under 60, the AI model "could predict who was at higher risk of pancreatic cancer up to 20 months before diagnosis."
