Baidu has teamed up with Peking Union Medical College to harness big data and artificial intelligence in esophageal cancer research. The esophagus is the long, hollow tube that runs from your throat to your stomach that carries the  food you swallow to your stomach to be digested. The goal is to provide a scientific basis for early screening and diagnosis of the cancer. China ranks first in esophageal cancer morbidity worldwide, and more than half of all esophageal cancer patients are in China.
