EDRN's pancreatic cancer detection teams With Rhino Health to leverage federated learning to accelerate research
Rhino Health has announced a pilot project with the pancreatic cancer working group of the Early Detection Research Network (EDRN) to enhance cross-institution collaboration for pancreatic cancer detection. By employing federated learning, the initiative allows AI models to be trained on multi-modal data—including CT scans, cinematic renderings, and laboratory test results—across multiple institutions without the need to share sensitive patient information. This approach aims to accelerate the diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), enabling earlier detection and more precise treatment strategies. Participating institutions include Johns Hopkins Medicine, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, and City of Hope National Medical Center.
