A way to end cancer The technology to diagnose cancer at an early stage already exists. Since most cancers are now treatable if caught early enough, this technology would dramatically reduce cancer deaths if rolled out widely and affordably. The technology we’re talking about is an MRI. Modern MRIs are sensitive enough to detect cancer m***es as small as a millimeter. Some companies are already having success on a small scale offering MRIs to patients for a high cash price. However, there is backlash from the medical community as MRIs also create incidental findings (or false positives), that cost our healthcare system valuable time and money to investigate. For this to work, the world would need to scale up the number of MRI scans it does by at least 100x. Doing that will require innovations in the MRI hardware, the AI algorithms to interpret scans and reduce false positives, and the business models and consumer marketing to make it a viable business. We’re interested in funding companies looking to tackle this multifaceted problem. While much exciting progress is being made on cancer therapeutics, finding cancer early enough for our existing therapeutics to be curative might be the opportunity with the greatest potential impact.
