To access a broad and diverse database, the team synced up with a federated network company, using Electronic Health Record (EHR) data from various institutions across the US (Credits: Sudarsan Thobias/Shutterstock and Alex Shipps/MIT CSAIL)."

The first documented case of pancreatic cancer dates back to the 18th century. Since then, researchers have undertaken a protracted and challenging odyssey to understand the elusive and deadly disease. To date, there is no better cancer treatment than early intervention. Unfortunately, the pancreas, nestled deep within the abdomen, is particularly elusive for early detection.
