AI Model Detects Pancreatic Cancer Up to 3 Years Before Symptoms Appear on Routine CT Scans

Mayo Clinic researchers developed REDMOD, an AI model that identifies hidden signs of pancreatic cancer on routine CT scans up to three years before clinical diagnosis. The tool detected 73% of pre-diagnostic cancers at a median lead time of 16 months, achieving nearly twofold higher detection rates than radiologists. This breakthrough could transform outcomes for one of the deadliest cancers with a five-year survival rate below 15%.
