Severance Hospital to Develop Online Tool for Calculating Early Liver Metastasis
Severance Hospital in South Korea has created an AI model, LiMPC, that predicts early liver metastasis in pancreatic cancer patients using routine blood tests. The model was trained on data from 2,657 patients and externally validated on 272 patients from five other hospitals, achieving an 81% detection rate for metastasis and 87% specificity for low‑risk cases. Researchers will launch an online calculator so clinicians can assess risk without additional imaging. The tool aims to improve early‑stage decision‑making, especially in settings lacking advanced diagnostics.
