- Eric Topol highlighted Oncoformer, a multimodal AI model built on EHR data plus chest X-rays from 3.67 million individuals, published open-access in Cell.
- The model predicted cancer at least one year before diagnosis: AUROC 0.869 for all cancers, 0.905 for cervical cancer, and 0.896 for colon cancer.
- The paper is available open access via Cell.
