A simple blood test now catches early-stage liver cancer four times more effectively than traditional ultrasound scans, offering new hope for the 90% of high-risk patients who skip screening. The breakthrough could save thousands of lives by detecting America's fastest-growing cancer when it's still highly treatable.
A new AI system spotted pancreatic cancer on routine scans more than a year before human radiologists could see it, offering hope for one of the deadliest cancers. The breakthrough could transform early detection for a disease that kills 92% of patients within five years.
