Artificial intelligence of all things can be an effective tool for men with prostate cancer in making their treatment decisions easier, University Hospitals doctors recently demonstrated. Researchers at UH’s Seidman Cancer Center and ArteraAi have developed a computer test to determine which prostate cancer patients are likely to benefit from hormone therapy, and more importantly, which ones aren’t. The test combines clinical information about patients with digital images of the cancerous tissue taken during the biopsy. AI then sorts them using a machine-learning algorithm trained to recognize and compare thousands of features in those images. UH is among a select number of U.S. cancer centers offering the test. It is currently free as part of an early access program, though a doctor said it’s unlikely to be cost-prohibitive in the long run.
