The AI Revolution in Cancer:
Grab your musket & don't wait for a silver bullet.
Ask any AI frontier lab leader what AI will do for humanity and "cure cancer" tops every list.
The image is always the same: miracle drugs. That's not how it's actually playing out.

The cancer center of the future will be virtual first
From Google to cancer care, Othman Laraki (@othman), Co-Founder and CEO of Color Health (@color), is rethinking how patients access cancer expertise.
In an interview with OncoDaily, he discusses virtual-first cancer care, AI-supported clinical services, earlier diagnosis, and the need to close the gap between scientific advances and everyday practice.
His vision: making access to high-quality cancer care less dependent on geography.

I don't think people realize how bad this is.
Colorectal cancer is now the leading cause of cancer death in Americans under 50.
In adults 65 and older, incidence is falling 2.5% a year. In adults 20 to 49, it's rising 3% a year.
What's causing this?
@soleio@TownAI What a wonderful idea. I’ve gifted The Order of Time to so many people and excited to read this one! If you have more requests than than your 100, let me know and I’d be happy to extend it from there :).
Interviewer: If free will is overrated, what's the point of living? Since everything is effectively laid out before you go through it.
Jürgen: Well, they made a movie about that, and it's called Free Willy.
Interviewer: About the whale?
Jürgen: Yeah.
Interviewer: Wait, so, sorry, can you, how does that connect to the question?
Jürgen: It doesn't connect at all. It was just something that I made up.
We directly served about 750,000 participants and they serve the global community by contributing to one of humanity's largest and most diverse healthcare datasets.
Huge milestone to see the @AllofUsResearch data release of one of @NIH largest ever projects, where @Color was a major contributor. Proud moment for us and we hope a big step in biomedical research.

A Nature Medicine study found general-purpose LLMs are now outperforming dedicated medical AI products on physician-reviewed clinical tasks.
The authors compared OpenEvidence and UpToDate Expert AI with GPT-5.2, Gemini 3.1 Pro, and Claude Opus 4.6 on medical exam questions, clinician-style answers, and real questions doctors asked during care.
In 100 de-identified physician questions from live clinical use, blinded clinicians again preferred the frontier models, especially on completeness and clarity,
Nearly 90% of large employers now cite cancer as one of their top three cost drivers.
In a new https://t.co/LjmX0zZl86 op ed, PICI CEO @DrKarenKnudsen and @Color CEO @othman discuss what they call“the triple wave” driving this trend: rising cancer diagnoses among younger populations, increased complex and costly treatments, and a growing survivor workforce requiring long-term treatment.
In the piece, they outline steps employers can take to move from reactive management to proactive cancer care strategies.
