BUFFALO, NY - April 8, 2025 – A new #editorial was #published in Oncotarget, Volume 16, on April 4, 2025, titled “Deep learning-based uncertainty quantification for quality assurance in hepatobiliary imaging-based techniques." Dr. Yashbir Singh from Mayo Clinic and his colleagues discussed how artificial intelligence (AI) can improve liver imaging by recognizing when it might be wrong. This approach, called “uncertainty quantification,” helps clinicians better detect liver cancer and other diseases by pointing out areas in medical scans that need a second look. The authors explain how these AI tools could make imaging results more accurate and reliable, which is especially important when diagnosing serious conditions like liver tumors. Liver and bile duct imaging is difficult because of the organ's complex structure and differences in image quality. Even skilled radiologists can struggle to identify small or hidden tumors, especially in patients with liver damage or scarring. The editorial explains how new AI models not only read medical images but also measure their own confidence. When the AI system is unsure, it can alert clinicians to take a closer look. This extra layer of information can reduce missed diagnoses and improve early detection of liver cancer. One of the most advanced tools described in the editorial is called AHUNet (Anisotropic Hybrid Network). This AI model works with both 2D and 3D images and can highlight which parts of a scan it is most confident about. It performed well when measuring the entire liver and showed how its confidence dropped when scanning smaller or multiple lesions. This feature helps clinicians know when more testing or review is needed. The authors also looked at other AI models used in liver imaging. Some tools were able to analyze liver fat using ultrasound images and give clinicians both a result and a confidence score. Others improved the speed and accuracy of liver magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, helping to create clear images in less time. These advancements could help hospitals work faster and provide better care. The editorial highlights how this technology can be especially helpful in smaller clinics. If they do not have liver specialists, they could still use AI systems that flag uncertain results and send them to larger centers for review. Such an approach could improve care in rural or less-resourced areas. “Radiology departments should develop standardized reporting templates that incorporate uncertainty metrics alongside traditional imaging findings.” By using AI tools that know when to second-guess themselves, clinicians may soon have more reliable methods for detecting liver cancer and monitoring liver disease. The authors suggest that uncertainty-aware AI may soon become a vital part of everyday medical imaging, supporting faster and more accurate decisions in liver disease care.

British tech company, Skin Analytics has received regulatory approval for DERM—its autonomous AI skin cancer detection system that uses a smartphone. Dermatologists are in short supply, with an average of only 30 dermatologists per one million population in Europe. Skin cancer is one of the most treatable forms of cancer if it's caught early but in the UK alone, NHS England says urgent skin cancer referrals have skyrocketed 170 percent in the last decade, and 11 percent of urgent cases wait over a month just to be seen. The simple app operates on most smartphones and with a lens attachment called a dermascope. It allows a technician to photograph a patient's lesion and receive an almost instantaneous diagnosis. The AI technology compares a single photograph of the lesion with a library of images before giving a diagnosis. Skin Analytics says DERM achieves a 99.8 percent accuracy rate in ruling out cancer. DERM was awarded the EU's Class III CE marked medical device under the European Medical Device Regulation, making it the world's first legally authorized autonomous AI for detecting cancer. It has already been deployed at 21 NHS (National Health Service) sites in the UK, racking up 135,000 patients assessed. More impressively still, it has helped to detect more than 13,000 cancers, according to Skin Analytics. "When you think about health care, it's a very human discipline. And at the end of the day, diagnostics is just one small part of the process. So by using technologies like DERM to be able to assess more patients, find the right patients to get into the dermatologist, we can really drive up the efficiency of our health care system and be able to see more patients faster and get them better outcomes," says Neil Daly, founder and CEO of Skin Analytics. DERM can automatically discharge up to 40 percent of urgent skin cancer referrals. It could become an important tool for early diagnosis of cancer and potentially save many lives.

A Daily Chronicle of AI Innovations on January 08th 2025 ⚡Nvidia CEO Says His AI Chips Are Improving Faster Than Moore's Law
Artificial intelligence-enabled medical diagnostic tools are ensuring greater accuracy in cancer screening and detection, helping doctors arrive at more precise diagnoses and enhancing treatment quality.Zhejiang University recently introduced an AI-powered universal pathology assistant called OmniPT, which integrates vision and language models for human-computer interaction. The model is being used at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine's department of pathology, focusing on high-incidence cancers such as gastric, colorectal and cervical. The hospital in Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang province, is the first clinical institution in China to use an AI-powered pathology assistant.OmniPT has achieved a number of breakthroughs in laboratory tests, including in cancer classification, grading, vascular and neural invasion identification and the discovery of markers that indicate the future course of the disease, the hospital said. Analyses and predictions by OmniPT have been 80 to 90 percent accurate across cancer types.Most patients and their families are unfamiliar with the details of pathology examinations — work performed on tissue samples or cells in a lab, and pathologists generally do not interact directly with patients.When biological samples from a patient are sent to a lab, experts go through an intense process to understand the pathological changes and the nature of the disease in the specimen at hand.The role of the pathologist is to help reach an accurate diagnosis through the application of rigorous empirical standards. China, however, faces a severe shortage of pathology professionals."Many people may know that pediatricians are in short supply, but pathologists are even more rare. Currently, our country needs 150,000 to 200,000 pathologists, but there are only about 30,000 officially registered," said Zhang Jing, chair of the pathology department and vice-president of the Yuhang branch of the hospital.Apart from this massive gap, there are also regional imbalances. While cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou may be facing less severe shortages, the situation is dire in remote areas, he added.Additionally, the long training period only complicates the situation as young pathologists often lack the required depth of experience.Against this backdrop, OmniPT, developed by Professor Song Mingli's team from Zhejiang University's College of Computer Science and Technology in collaboration with the First Affiliated Hospital, is facilitating fast, accurate clinical diagnosis.By leveraging human-computer interaction and centering on the needs of pathologists, OmniPT significantly improves diagnostic efficiency and quality, and helps alleviate the shortage of professionals."It serves as an assistant to pathologists by handling repetitive tasks so that they can focus on final judgment," Zhang said.He provided an example of counting mitosis, which is a critical task when diagnosing gliomas, a kind of tumor that can be found in the brain or spinal cord."It can take at least 30 minutes to an hour to count a single pathology slide under a high-power microscope," he said."OmniPT, however, can complete this task in less than 10 seconds. Its computational capabilities allow it to analyze the findings in far greater detail than manual work. When it encounters 10 uncertain mitotic figures, it reports to a pathologist like me to make the final judgment," Zhang added.In collaboration with the hospital, Song's team has focused on clinical needs. OmniPT accelerates the evaluation of samples on slides, particularly details that might be overlooked by fatigued doctors. OmniPT handles more than 90 percent of repetitive tasks, leaving only a small fraction for pathologists to assess."It assists us, but it doesn't drive us. We drive it. By leveraging AI in our interactions, we can solve challenging problems in pathology — particularly for people in remote regions or those with less experienced doctors. It greatly improves efficiency, reduces costs and helps us avoid errors," Zhang said.

On today's episode of Superpowers for Good, Jonathan shared how his team is reshaping cancer testing and leveraging equity crowdfunding to align with their mission.The company's flagship product, OneTest, offers multi-cancer early detection for as little as $200—far below the cost of competing tests. Recently, they introduced a convenient home collection option, allowing people to collect samples themselves, bypassing painful and time-consuming traditional blood draws. “We believe that cancer testing should not just be for the so-called worried rich. It should be for everybody,” Jonathan said.This philosophy extends to their approach to financing. Jonathan explained, “Just as cancer doesn't discriminate by income, we think cancer testing—and the opportunity to invest in innovations—should be available to all.” The company pioneered equity crowdfunding for biotech, raising $12 million from nearly 8,000 shareholders through Reg CF and Reg A campaigns. Now, they are hosting another offering on WeFunder to continue this democratized model.Jonathan's vision is deeply personal for many. He highlighted how shareholders often become customers and vice versa, strengthening the connection between the company's mission and its community.By focusing on affordability, accessibility, and inclusivity, 20/20 GeneSystems is setting a new standard—not just for cancer detection but also for how groundbreaking medical innovations are funded. Their journey illustrates the powerful impact of aligning purpose with action, offering investors and patients alike a chance to join a life-saving mission.tl;dr:* Jonathan Cohen's company offers one of only two multi-cancer early detection tests available today.* 20/20 GeneSystems' OneTest uses protein biomarkers, providing an affordable alternative to DNA-based diagnostics.* The company's equity crowdfunding campaigns align with its mission of democratizing access to biotech investments.* During the COVID-19 pandemic, 20/20 GeneSystems pivoted quickly to become an early leader in testing.* Jonathan's innovative approach integrates AI and machine learning, modernizing cancer detection and expanding accessibility.How to Develop Creative Thinking As a SuperpowerJonathan Cohen's superpower is creative thinking. As the CEO of 20/20 GeneSystems, Jonathan has repeatedly demonstrated an ability to think outside the box to solve problems and innovate. From spearheading novel approaches to cancer detection to adopting unconventional business strategies, Jonathan's creativity enables him to navigate complex challenges and seize unique opportunities.During the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, Jonathan's creativity shone when he led 20/20 GeneSystems to pivot quickly into COVID testing. With rapid antibody tests sourced from East Asia, the company was among the first in the U.S. to offer any type of COVID test. Later, they transitioned to PCR testing, adapting to market needs. This quick, strategic shift not only supported public health efforts but also drove substantial growth, earning the company a spot on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies.Tips for Developing Creative Thinking:* Pause and Analyze: Avoid following the crowd; take time to assess alternative approaches when everyone else moves in a single direction.* Leverage Technology: Use emerging tools like AI and machine learning to modernize older, proven methods.* Think Holistically: Combine diverse strategies, such as integrating different testing modalities for optimal outcomes, as Jonathan did with protein and DNA testing.* Engage in Public Policy: Collaborate with policymakers to align innovative solutionsBy following Jonathan Cohen's example and advice, you can make creative thinking a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

BUFFALO, NY - November 11, 2024 – A new #editorial was #published in Oncotarget's Volume 15 on November 7, 2024, titled “Beyond the hype: Navigating bias in AI-driven cancer detection.” In this editorial, researchers from the Mayo Clinic emphasize the need to address potential biases in Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools used for cancer detection to ensure fair and equitable healthcare. Authors Yashbir Singh, Heenaben Patel, Diana V. Vera-Garcia, Quincy A. Hathaway, Deepa Sarkar, and Emilio Quaia discuss the risks of biased AI systems, which can lead to disparities in diagnosis and treatment outcomes across diverse patient groups. While AI is transforming cancer care through early diagnosis and improved treatment planning, this study warns that AI models trained on limited or non-diverse data may misdiagnose or overlook certain populations, particularly those in underserved communities, thereby increasing healthcare disparities. As explained in the editorial, “For example, if an AI model is trained on Caucasian patients, it may struggle to detect skin cancer accurately in patients with darker skin, leading to missed diagnoses or false positives.” Such biases could result in unequal access to early diagnosis and treatment, ultimately leading to poorer health outcomes for certain groups. Beyond racial bias, factors such as socioeconomic status, gender, age, and geographic location can also affect the accuracy of AI in healthcare. The authors propose a comprehensive approach to developing fair AI models in healthcare, highlighting six key strategies. They first emphasize the importance of using diverse and representative datasets to improve diagnostic accuracy across all demographics. Rigorous testing and validation across various population groups are necessary before AI systems are widely implemented. To promote ethical AI use, models should be transparent in their decision-making processes, enabling clinicians to recognize and address potential biases. The researchers also advocate for collaborative development involving data scientists, clinicians, ethicists, and patient advocates to capture a range of perspectives. Continuous monitoring and regular audits are essential to detect and correct biases over time. Finally, training healthcare providers on AI's strengths and limitations will empower them to use these tools responsibly and make informed interpretations. “The goal should not merely be to create AI systems that are more accurate than humans but to develop technologies that are fundamentally fair and beneficial to all patients.” The authors also urge regulatory bodies, such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), to implement updated frameworks specifically aimed at addressing AI bias in healthcare. Policies that promote diversity in clinical trials and incentivize the development of fair AI systems will help ensure that AI benefits reach all populations equitably. They caution against over-reliance on AI without a full understanding of its limitations, as unchecked biases could undermine patient trust and slow the adoption of valuable AI technologies. In conclusion, as AI continues to transform cancer care, the healthcare sector must prioritize fairness, transparency, and robust AI regulation to ensure that it serves all patients without bias. By addressing bias from development through to implementation, AI can fulfill its promise of creating a fair and effective healthcare system for everyone.

Recent research from the University of Chicago shows that only 14% of cancers in the U.S. are diagnosed after the patient had a recommended screening test. 57% of diagnosed cancers do not have screening tests and account for 70% of all cancer-related deaths. 86% of cancer cases still go undiagnosed after recommended screenings. 16M+ life years saved in the U.S. from early-detection screenings. I don't know about you, but everytime I read those stats, my jaw hits the floor.When it comes to cancer, early detection is key to saving lives. With 610,000+ cancer deaths in the U.S. each year, most of which stemming from cancer types with no FDA-approved screening options, new technology is making revolutionary strides in detecting cancers that have been previously undetectable in early stages.There are now new tools intended to be used complementary to established cancer screening assessments. However in some cases, especially for cancer types that have no previously established screening test and are notoriously hard to detect, it may be the only warning sign currently available for providers.In this week's episode of the Everything Epigenetics podcast, Dr. Joshua Routh and I talk about just that. We discuss the rising cancer burden and the cutting-edge role epigenetics plays in revolutionizing early cancer detection. Dr. Routh, a molecular genetic pathologist and medical director at Precision Epigenomics, shares insights into how new diagnostics, such as Multi-Cancer Detection (MCD) tests, provide opportunities to catch cancers earlier than ever before. We also explore the technology behind these tests, their impact on patient outcomes, and what the future holds for epigenetics in diagnosing and treating cancer and other chronic diseases.You'll learn about:Dr. Joshua Routh's journey from engineering to molecular oncology.The alarming statistics behind late-stage cancer diagnoses and why early detection is critical.Current cancer screening limitations and how epigenomics offers better solutions.How Multi-Cancer Detection (MCD) tests like EPISEEK work to catch cancer earlier.The difference between EPISEEK by Precision Epigenomics and Galleri by Grail.Why test accuracy mattersWhat to expect if you get a positive cancer result and how recurrence monitoring works.The broader future of epigenetics in treating conditions like heart disease and neurological disorders.Chapters:00:10 - Introduction to Dr. Joshua Routh and His Career Journey04:48 - The Growing Cancer Burden and Challenges in Screening09:00 - How Epigenomics is Transforming Early Cancer Detection13:12 - Multi-Cancer Detection Tests: What Are They?18:22 - EPISEEK by Precision Epigenomics vs. Galleri: Comparing the Leading Tests25:27 - Cancer Therapy Resistance and the Role of EpigenetSupport the showWhere to Find Us:Instagram Twitter Facebook Follow us on:Apple Podcast Spotify YouTube Visit our website for more information and resources: everythingepigenetics.com Thank you for joining us at the Everything Epigenetics Podcast and remember you have control over your Epigenetics, so tune in next time to learn more about how to harness this knowledge for your benefit.

This AI-driven incidental findings program identifies and then monitors pancreatic abnormalities to improve the quality of care to patients who are at increased risk for developing pancreatic cancer. To do so, the patient management software integrates with the electronic health record and facilitates patient identification, risk assessment, care plan tracking, patient and provider communication, outcomes recording, and registry functionality. In the 2 years following program implementation, 82 pancreatic cancers were detected from incidental findings with 65% of patients being diagnosed in earlier stages (stages I, II, and II), as well as instances of ampullary cancer, gallbladder cancer, and gastric cancer. Guest: Russell Langan, MD, FACS, FSSO Associate Chief Surgical Officer, System Integration and Quality & Director of Surgical Oncology RWJBarnabas Health, Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center Livingston, New Jersey “There remains a knowledge gap with respect to the risk associated with pancreatic cysts. Many patients are identified to have a pancreatic cyst on an incidental scan and then told [by providers] that there's no risk. [Some] patients will then return years later with pancreatic cancer. And it's very unfortunate because we know that risk could have been addressed when it was in its precancerous state.” —Russell Langan, MD, FACS, FSSO Hear more about this innovation at the ACCC 41st National Oncology Conference, October 9-11, 2024, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
