Has anyone tried the ArteraAI test?

Posted by jcultra @jcultra, Jul 2 10:35pm

Today I ran across a new test, developed using artificial intelligence, that gives data on chances of metastasis after radiation with and without short term ADT.
Has anyone have experience with the ArteraAI test?
I’ve met with two urologists and one radiation oncologist and no one has mentioned it.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

In reply to @edpenney "Curious: What is the cost of the test? Does Medicare cover it? What is the turnaround..." + (show)

I was told that Medicare will most likely not pay for it and that I should prepare for a $1400 invoice. I did ok the test due to one core of a 4+3 and yet other markers were lower risk. (Including my Decifer )
I wanted it for treatment decisions - especially regarding that awful ADT and length of
being on those. Turn around time for AI results has increased because so many are now using the test. Hope to get my results maybe in the next two weeks.

Had an Artera run in September. Quick response. Medicare/Supplement paid for it.
Interesting analysis - indicated I would not benefit by adding ADT to my IMRT treatment. I"m excited but my Medical Oncologist is not. Wants to add ADT despite the report. I don't agree.
What am I missing?
Thoughts?
