A new AI-based risk prediction system could help catch deadly pancreatic cancer cases earlier
The PRISM AI system uses data from millions of patients to help identify those likely to develop the most common form of the disease.

A new AI system could help detect the most common form of pancreatic cancer, new research has found.
Pancreatic cancer is a difficult disease to detect. The pancreas itself is hidden by other organs in the abdomen, making it tough to spot tumors during tests. Patients also rarely experience symptoms in the early stages, meaning that the majority of cases are diagnosed at an advanced stage—once it’s already spread to other parts of the body. This makes it much harder to cure.
