Researchers at the Mayo Clinic have developed an artificial intelligence system that can identify early signs of pancreatic cancer on CT scans years before clinical diagnosis in some cases, according to recent medical research coverage.
Pancreatic cancer is often detected late, when treatment options are limited. Scientists say AI-assisted screening could eventually help radiologists flag suspicious patterns during routine imaging.
Experts caution that more validation is needed before such tools become standard clinical practice, but early results have drawn interest from oncology specialists worldwide.
