From Google to fighting cancer | Othman Laraki (@othman) What if the cancer center of the future had no walls? And what if AI could help save millions of lives?

From the alarming gap between scientific advances and everyday clinical practice to the human cost of delayed diagnoses, they explore some of healthcare’s most urgent challenges. Can virtual cancer clinics bring world-class care to everyone, regardless of where they live? Could AI revolutionize cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship? “AI can help us save millions of people from cancer.” — Othman Laraki A story of family, ambition, and a bold vision to make cancer care faster, smarter, and accessible to all.

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?

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,

There is a genuinely a revolution under way in cancer. We're solving it: from early detection (!), trial matching, and ongoing management. @Color is now an @ASCO clinic -- the first virtual-only one -- leading this revolution in screening and care.
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. ...

Honored to see this happening. So much good for so many people ! This application of AI makes PERFECT SENSE Proud to be among the earliest backers of @othman and @Color Genomics!
1/ Today, @Color became the first virtual cancer clinic in the world to earn @ASCO Certified Designation for quality in cancer care. Until now, that designation has only existed for physical cancer centers.
