AI detects pancreatic cancer 3 years before diagnosis: Study reveals breakthrough results
An artificial intelligence (AI) software that could possibly revolutionise pancreatic cancer treatment by early diagnosis, even before the tumor becomes visible on a scan, is currently being evaluated in a clinical trial.
A Mayo Clinic AI tool detected abnormalities on scans up to three years before the patients were diagnosed.
According to a research paper published in the journal Gut, an AI model developed by a Minnesota-based clinic was trained with CT scans of patients who were earlier being examined for other diseases but were later diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
The research team then asked radiologists and AI software to review the scans and found the AI system to be three times more effective at detecting early signs of the disease compared to radiologists.
A radiologist at Mayo Clinic and an author of the study said they knew pancreatic cancer does not come all of a sudden in three months, adding, “We knew that signal was there. We just needed to find a way to be able to detect it.”
Pancreatic cancer has a five-year survival rate of around 13% and is on its way to become the second leading cause of cancer deaths by 2030; however, if successful, the deployment of Mayo Clinic’s AI software could improve early detection and treatment outcomes.
Early detection for the disease has been rare so far, but the Stage I patients had a survival rate of up to 40%.
Chris Brown mansion in Los Angeles turned into a scene of chaos on Friday after reports of gunfire outside the property.
Police rushed to the Tarzana home after calls about shots being fired around late afternoon.
A woman told officers that a man fired at her car during an argument near the estate.
According to reports, officers arrived in no time and talked to both people involved.
The man gave his version of events and said the argument started when the woman refused to leave the area.
He also claimed that things got worse when she drove over his foot and said he then fired shots at her vehicle.
The suspect was arrested at the scene and now faces serious charges including assault with a deadly weapon and vandalism.
Police, however, made it clear that the shooting happened on the street outside the mansion, not inside the house or on the property grounds.
It is still not confirmed if Chris Brown was inside the home at the time or connected to the people involved.
The incident reported at a time when the singer is already dealing with ongoing legal issues in a separate case that is set to go to trial in the coming months.
Andy Serkis, the iconic voice of Gollum in “Lord of the Rings,” speaks with “CBS Saturday Morning” about his latest project, an animated version of George Orwell’s “Animal Farm.”
