Context
OUR TAKE Cancer has always been one of the most challenging diseases facing humanity, with more than 19 million new cases and 10 million deaths each year. Early detection of cancer, combined with existing treatments, can significantly improve survival and treatment outcomes for various cancer types. AI is already playing a huge role in detecting cancer. –Zora Lin, BTW reporter A new UCLA study finds that an AI tool identifies prostate cancer with 84 percent accuracy, compared to 67 percent accuracy for a doctor’s test.

Analysis
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approves software developed by California-based Avenda Health called “Unfold AI,” which uses AI algorithms to visualise the likelihood of cancer based on a variety of clinical data. Ali Kasraean, MD, a urologist in Florida, says he uses AI technology when consulting patients about prostate cancer management. “Unfold AI’s results demonstrate whether patients are more suited to local or radical treatment, ensuring we optimise their cancer treatment, personalisation of cancer care, and their quality of life goals.” “AI takes the information we currently have about prostate cancer patients, such as their pathology, imaging, and biopsy results, and creates a 3D cancer estimate map,” he says.

Key Points
- Research from the University of California, Los Angeles, has shown that AI has overtaken doctors in detecting common cancers in men.
- AI analyses patient information, including pathology, imaging, and biopsy results, to create a 3D cancer estimate.
