Mass General Brigham researchers trained a model on more than 40 million faces to estimate biological age and predict cancer survival from one photo. Patients who looked five or more years older than their age had a 21% higher risk of death. The study is a real advance, and clinicians will need to use it as an input to judgment, not a replacement for it.
