the biopsy just gained a first guess. zhong nanshan's team released deepgem 2.0, a pathology ai that screens 12 lung-cancer gene targets from a slide in about a minute, per oct 10 reporting.
the slide now speaks before the stain dries.
Context
Chinese outlets reported on Oct 10 that the team of academician Zhong Nanshan, with the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University's National Center for Respiratory Medicine and KingMed Diagnostics, released DeepGEM 2.0, a multimodal lung cancer pathology gene model. Headlines say it can predict 12 lung cancer gene targets in as fast as one minute.
The model uses an AI pre-screen followed by targeted gene validation, which the report says could cut gene testing costs to a few hundred yuan.
The 12 gene targets, the one minute speed and the Oct 10 release match the Sina and iFeng reports. The speed is described as 'as fast as', not a typical time. 'From a slide' is the author's framing; the reports say pathology gene model.
'The slide now speaks before the stain dries' is the author's opinion.
