Will AI make a difference with prostate cancer?

Posted by ozelli @ozelli, Dec 1, 2023

I am expecting that AI won't just be capable of writing great essays for uni students but will make meaningful inroads to healthcare in the not too distant future.

It may not come soon enough for some of us unfortunately (we are all on a clock of sorts) and these early LLM models are clearly sourcing discussions on forums much like this one.

No, I am not a bot but I want your input!!

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

@colleenyoung

Here comes the acronym buster
LLM models = large language models
AI = artificial intelligence or augemented intelligence
PSA = prostate-specific antigen

I'm sure I didn't have to spell out PSA, but I thought I better be consistent. You guys in the prostate group are prolific acronym users and I've decided to declare myself the acronym buster. I'll happily go into early retirement if you should decide to help me out by spelling out acronyms. 🙂

So, back on topic:
Mayo Clinic is commited to investigating the use of AI in health care. The Department of Artificial Intelligence and Informatics (AI&I) is a research department that supports Mayo Clinic's artificial intelligence and informatics strategies.

Here's a prostate cancer specific clinical trial in progress:
- A Study to Evaluate Contouring Organs at Risk for Treatment Planning https://www.mayo.edu/research/clinical-trials/cls-20511050

And a few articles how AI assists in cancer:

It's a promising area.

I am so pleased you brought the acronym issue to the surface. As a person with a new health issue, I joined this form to learn more about my disease. I almost left because of the effort it took to find the meaning of many acronyms. Again, Thank You.
