AI and Early Detection of Pancreatic Cancer

What if artificial intelligence could catch pancreatic cancer before a radiologist's eye does? In this episode of PancChat, host Alisyn Camerota speaks with Dr. Elliot Fishman, professor in the Departments of Radiology and Radiological Science, Oncology, and Surgery at Johns Hopkins Medicine, member of the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, and co-principal investigator of the FELIX Project for Early Detection of Pancreatic Cancer. Dr. Fishman shares how AI-powered imaging tools are being trained to detect tumors as small as two centimeters — and why that capability could save tens of thousands of lives a year. He also discusses the FELIX 2.0 project, the challenge of scaling AI across different hospital systems, and how AI is already transforming cancer care beyond pancreatic cancer, from mammography to drug development.
