Somehow even HN is full of stories about cancer, but lately I also noticed quite high amount of cancer cases of people I know. The biggest problem usualy is the detection, as early stages are curable than later. Every time my questions is, if it actually would not be feasible to have fully automated health check, lets say once per year. I imagine it in way that you may provide you urin, blood sample, maybe some questionare and then go thru the MRI or CT (which as it is XRAY can be harmful too often?). But all the data would be analyzed by DPNN. I assume after some time of doing this with large amount of people and some feedback when they got issues, you could train the network to see if something is going on in advance. If it would be highly automated and well organized it migth take just hour or so. Without waiting and all the other stuff that makes it so hard to get examined.
