Just some new Information about AI

[chefjlu]

Came across this article a couple days ago. news-medical.net/news/20210...

AI has pros and cons. Many men I talk to see it as a problematic challenge. My thoughts were more about putting information out there that may help others to see that progress is being made. Many newly diagnosed don't always see that. Having been on here for quite a while I don't comment many times as I have been a luck one. Diagnosed w/Stage 3a PN1 almost 6 years ago and a family history of ovarian & prostate cancer (paternal grandmother, paternal uncle, father) I was lucky that genetic testing was negative for genetic issues - my level of side effects from a RP, radiation for recurrence after almost 3 years, and now looking to end ADT in May has been no more than mild hot flashes. I chose to work with other men where I can to try and assist them with a diagnosis. My team of doctors warned me of this as it is challenging and mentally tough. I almost became a doctor and have extensive education in medicine before deciding to forgo that. My approach to Prostate Cancer is to point out that it isn't a "death sentence", there are treatments available and new approaches being tested. Having just turned 65, lived in a dozen states and visited over 100 countries I don't interject my thoughts on informational articles but offer it as a chance to take in information.

Interesting article that you linked, and being able to identify prostate cancer types that benefit from hormone therapy versus those that don’t sounds awesome.

I don’t understand why you titled this post about AI though, there’s no mention of AI anywhere in the article.

In following this article with several doctors, it was AI that has helped them as noted in this article. medicalnewstoday.com/articl...

Thanks for your expertise and being an advocate for other warriors like yourself and us. I read that article a few days ago also.

I think for now AI is much more beneficial for experienced researchers than it is for us laymen. That i know will change and the way our technology is screaming forward logarithmically it won’t be long before we have better AI for all no matter what the vocation.
