How AI can help researchers make esophageal cancer less deadly
September 18, 2024 by Karen Kaplan, Los Angeles Times Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public DomainApproximately 600 times a day, the esophagus ferries whatever is in your mouth down to your stomach. It’s usually a one-way route, but sometimes acid escapes the stomach and travels back up. That can damage the cells lining the esophagus, prompting them to...
