Who could have imagined this level of technology 25 years ago?

There are several drugs now in phase 2 and phase 3 trials that may be able to put the kibosh on pancreatic cancer. Advances in this field are now very rapid.

I can understand why medical costs exceed inflation as the product with expensive R&D gets better over time.

Now contrast that with education costs which grow more than inflation as the product stagnates or worsens...

Think about that.

Easy to come up with a test that detects rare, scary things early. Do nothing, but report every 'result' as positive for them! Gives 100% sensitivity. And specificity no higher than the real incidence of that condition.

Specificity of this AI meta-analysis isn't discussed in the article. The real cost of the test isn't what you're charged for it, but rather that, plus all the money spent chasing its false positives, plus the cost of all the complications from the extra testing. Money which might have been spent on other things, including other medical tests or procedures with better established cost/benefit ratios.

AI doing things that no human being can do.

But, who programmed that AI system to do what it did?

Must not have been a human. Humans cannot program AI that is so advanced. Must be a much higher intelligence that can’t even be imagined by humans.

AI is out of this world!

Pancreatic cancer is the beast due to lack of detection. It’s too late for our family, but hoping for breakthrough and relief for others.

Interesting timing for this announcement in light of a story from a couple of months ago...

I’ve heard that everyone has cancer cells all the time, but the immune system eliminates it. So-called AI should be turned on strengthening the immune system to function effectively against cancer and pathogens. In other words, focus on health, not doctors, pharmaceuticals, and the medical establishment.

My recent diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the ampulla of Vater mirrors pancreatic cancer and is treated in the same fashion with a Whipple procedure. The biopsy retrieved via an ERCP was "brushed" from the surface of the tumor that is blocking the bile duct where it passes into the duodenum. I don't have a "stage" yet. The visual observation suggests Stage II. CT doesn't indicate invasion of the adjacent lymph nodes. Once the Whipple is done, the tumor can go to the lab to discern cellular origin (intestinal/biliary/pancreatic). Intestinal origin has the best prognosis for survival. The biliary/pancreatic origin has a poorer prognosis.

I’ve had the privilege of working in that field of endeavor late in my career as a software engineer. We studied the proclivity of breast and uterine cancer in women. I think we accomplished some good things for mankind using support vector machine technology.

AI is capable and has diagnosed forms of cancer by looking at X-Rays. However, the test cases involved looking at “skeletons” of black and white folks — still alive, BTWay. However, since the discovered cancers were exclusively in the blacks; the test was ruled racist. No whites were found to have those cancers.

The program was then cancelled.

Technology is routinely suppressed if it offends certain parties. Not unethical or hiding facts — just if someone’s FeeFees are hurt.

Imagine being on your deathbed and wondering if you’d be OK if someone had not interfered in the medicine applied to you. Imagine losing a child for the same reason.

The mother-of-two, from Edmonton, Canada, saw a presentation by Molecular You, a Vancouver biotech startup that had just launched a new blood test.

No information on how many false positives. There are many other factors involved in this one situation beyond this one test.
