Discovering Cancer Earlier: A New US$100 Million X Prize Aims to Shift the Odds in Cancer Survival

David L Chandler. IEEE Pulse. 2018 Nov-Dec.

Abstract

According to the National Cancer Institute, 4 million people die of cancer worldwide every year-almost 500 every hour. But the most shocking thing about that statistic is this: more than a third and possibly even the vast majority of those deaths could have been prevented through sufficiently early detection. Now, a new competition aims to turn that situation around.
