All made possible by NIH funding!
A Mayo Clinic-developed artificial intelligence (AI) model can help specialists detect pancreatic cancer on routine abdominal CT scans up to three years before clinical diagnosis. It identifies subtle signs of disease before tumors are visible, when curative treatment may still be possible. The findings, published in Gut, mark a milestone in Mayo Clinic's multiyear research effort to enable earlier detection of one of the deadliest cancers.

Pancreatic cancer is often found too late. @NIH- and @theNCI-supported research identified a four-marker blood panel with potential to detect it earlier. A great example of public investment in biomedical research that improves survival and offers hope. bit.ly/3NWQxv8

@NIH-funded research saves lives, strengthens communities, and fuels America’s leadership in science.
That’s why we applaud the FY26 Labor-HHS bill and its strong NIH funding and why UMR is joining @UnitedforCures1's Day of Action to urge Congress to pass this legislation and increase funding for medical research.
