The researchers at the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have secured a five-year, $5 million grant to conduct research on the use of artificial intelligence for detecting aggressive prostate cancer. This funding aims to discover new cancer biomarkers and develop AI technologies for detecting and predicting aggressive prostate cancer, thereby helping to avoid unnecessary treatments and their adverse side effects. Despite some advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer, the disease remains a prevalent issue in men's health. The research project, led by Professor Corey Arnold, will integrate magnetic resonance imaging, digital histology images, genetic information, and biomarkers to construct a computational model that more accurately captures the patient's current cancer status and predicts the disease's progression.
