World Diabetes Day Nov 14: the birthday of Sir Frederick Banting. Along with Best, Macleod and Collip, he put insulin into action for treating diabetes.
Insulin revolutionized treatment in 1922; today's researchers continue the revolution, using data and AI to improve clinical management and care.

AI in action: [accelerating] the diagnosis of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors using artificial intelligence. "Accelerating and improving diagnostic accuracy is therefore essential to enable faster access to effective treatments and improve patient prognosis." buff.ly/zlWsgme

Research in action: “[using] cells and 3D miniature structures of pancreatic NETs growing in a dish, animal studies and computer-based analyses to understand how HMGB3 interacts with other proteins and influences cancer cell function and response to radiation therapy” buff.ly/7vHefB2
November 10, 2025 at 4:49 PM
Research in action: new clinical tools and therapies for NETs, which are often diagnosed late, with poor treatment options.
“[ensuring] data standardization, enabling confident data sharing and collaboration” for effective research buff.ly/tKKo58l

What is neuroendocrine cancer?
“– tumours arising from various hormone-secreting glands in the body. These tumours are difficult to diagnose because they can present with a wide variety of physical signs that are not specific to cancerous tumours.” buff.ly/TjHPLNp

Precision oncology can help identify specific genetic mutations driving tumour growth and show where targeted therapies can have the most success.
"This will not only make treatments more effective, it will also limit the side-effects...” www.marathonofhopecancercentres.ca/our-research...
November 7, 2025 at 11:14 PM
Precision medicine, or personalized medicine, uses big data to predict the most successful clinical treatment for an individual patient. This helps clinicians find targeted therapies based on the patient’s genomic and other individual characteristics, that minimize side effects and increase success.
