AI to predict mHSPC outcomes and strategies

[Maxone73]

Of course, how the tool works and if it's already protected by a patent is unknown...but...

A new study shows how artificial intelligence (AI) can help predict outcomes for men with advanced prostate cancer. Researchers used an AI tool to analyze tissue samples and clinical data, creating a score that identifies patients at high, medium, or low risk of poor outcomes.

Patients with low-risk scores had an 83% chance of surviving 5 years, compared to just 39% for high-risk patients.

This tool could help doctors personalize treatments, choosing the best options for each patient while avoiding over- or under-treatment. The findings bring hope for more effective and tailored care in advanced prostate cancer.

Hi, Maxone73.

I wish to disagree with your first sentence.

You seem to imply that having a patent makes the invention a secret.

The reality is just the opposite. Patenting an invention requires the patent owner to disclose all of the enabling details of the invention to the public (i.e., in the patent document itself). This public disclosure allows other inventors to subsequently add improvements and then apply to get their own patent on their improved version.

There is not disagreement...it's a secret while it is not protected by a patent or while in the process, and that part we don't know. But yes, my words could be misinterpreted!
