AI model may predict pancreatic cancer risk up to 5 years before diagnosis

Mayo Clinic researchers built an AI model that scans routine electronic health records and lab results for subtle patterns that precede pancreatic cancer, flagging people whose higher risk shows up as much as five years before diagnosis. In a study of nearly 40,000 patients, presented at a surgical conference and not yet peer-reviewed, it separated higher and lower risk cases well.
