Math Equation Predicts and Detects Liver Cancer
University of California San Diego School of Medicine and Moores Cancer Center researchers developed a math equation to predict and detect liver cancer and identified when healthy cells become cancerous.
STUDY FINDS ‘VIRTUAL BIOPSY’ ALLOWS DOCTORS TO ACCURATELY DIAGNOSE PRECANCEROUS PANCREATIC CYSTS
Research from doctors at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center finds a new “virtual biopsy” allows them to definitively diagnose cysts in the pancreas with unprecedented accuracy. This means they can eliminate precancerous cysts and potentially save lives.
Two UC San Diego Researchers Elected AAAS Fellows

Innovative Machine Learning Tool Predicts Who Might Have Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis
Data from a new study presented this week at The Liver Meeting® – held by the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases – found that a machine-learning tool could successfully predict the risk of having non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) among patients with co-existing diseases.
