AI, face photos may predict cancer survival: Mass General Brigham study

Giles Bruce / beckershospitalreview - Using multiple photos from across a patient’s course of treatment in the FaceAge AI tool may be an even better predictor of survival than a single photo alone, a new Mass General Brigham study found. Researchers behind FaceAge, which uses AI to analyze a …

AI Summary: An AI model trained on clinical cohorts at Mass General Brigham can estimate biological aging from simple facial photos and links accelerated facial aging to poorer cancer survival. The research suggests noninvasive image-based signals could complement standard prognostic markers, offering a surprising, low-cost way to flag higher-risk patients earlier.

11 cancers on the rise in young people - scientists find first clue why it's happening

bbc - Researchers stress that simple lifestyle changes can still significantly reduce the risk of cancer.

AI Summary: New studies report rising incidence of several cancers among younger adults, with England data showing increases in bowel and ovarian cancers and researchers claiming early clues to underlying drivers. Scientists are calling for urgent investigation into environmental, lifestyle, and diagnostic factors, enhanced surveillance and prevention measures — because apparently youth is no longer a guarantee.

First-Ever Smell Map Is a Breakthrough in Sensory Research, a Step to Help Us Tackle Loss of Smell

discovermagazine - Discover how smell receptors in our noses aren’t randomly arranged but are highly organized, offering new paths toward treating sensory impairment.

AI Summary: Scientists have produced the first high‑resolution olfactory map, charting how scent receptors and neural circuits are organized in the nose. The atlas exposes unexpected patterns in odor encoding, helps explain smell loss, and points to new diagnostic and therapeutic pathways — including potential early markers of Alzheimer’s‑related olfactory damage.
