JAX researchers are training #AI to read tumor slides of rare pediatric sarcomas— delivering fast, consistent diagnoses that can lead families to better treatments, faster.
jax.org
Sarcomas account for only about 1% of pediatric cancers, but for the children and families who face them, that rarity makes them especially hard to diagnose.

Just as no two people age the same way, aging affects cancer risk in ways we’re only beginning to understand. JAX researchers have created a landmark atlas revealing how breast tissue changes with age and how those changes may shape the risk of cancer.
