Also, lung cancer causes 2.4x MORE deaths than colorectal cancer each year, making it the #1 cancer killer. 80-90% of lung cancer cases are due to smoking. If you smoked in the past, please take screening seriously.
Colorectal cancer is the #2 cancer killer in the US, behind pancreatic. Yet, it can take 10+ years for a polyp to turn deadly. There's a large window to catch it early.
Which is why early detection is so important!
Did you know? Pancreatic cancer is the #3 cancer killer in the U.S., taking ~51,000 lives every year. Breast cancer causes about 42,000 deaths annually – yet it’s nearly 5× more common, with over 310,000 new cases each year compared to just 66,000 for pancreatic cancer.
The impact of physical AI on healthcare: Would you trust a robot to give you an IV?
First responders are at a much higher risk for: • Cancer • Chronic injuries from physical strain • Ongoing exposure to infectious diseases and toxic substances They are a group that could benefit the most from early detection.
Spoke with someone today whose wife is battling Stage IV esophageal cancer. He wishes she had access to early detection much sooner. It was a powerful reminder of why our work at TrueScan matters.
This is so cool
The CMS inclusion of a Category I CPT code for coronary plaque analysis is a game changer. This is going to blast open the doors for adoption.
This may be the best AI commercial we’ve ever made. We worked with one of the best directors in the world to create a wild new ad for Kalshi (Last one hit 100M views) Here’s a breakdown of how we made it in ONE WEEK (prompt included) 👇🏼🧵
Body composition analysis with MRI will eventually replace DXA. DXA will likely remain useful only for a) low-cost body composition scans that don’t require as high sensitivity, and b) bone density measurements – at least until we find a better way to assess bone density

TrueScan - Full Body MRI Screening
Advanced full-body MRI screening for early disease detection in Tampa Bay.
U.S. healthcare spending hit $4.9 trillion in 2023 – 5x the size of the global ad industry (where Meta & Google compete). 😳
The American Cancer Society recommends lung cancer screening for people aged 50–80 with a 20+ pack-year smoking history. But most people we find with early-stage lung cancer have NEVER smoked. That's all I have to say.
