A new project aims to help doctors predict whether a man’s prostate cancer will be aggressive at the point of diagnosis – giving him the best-targeted treatment before it spreads. A new £1.5 million research project harnessing artificial intelligence (AI) and cutting-edge genetic analysis hopes to do just that.
A multidisciplinary team across the UK, led by Professor Ros Eeles at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, has collected data from blood and tumour samples belonging to 2,000 men with prostate cancer across nine countries, and will analyse them to look for unique genetic signatures in the samples from men whose cancer is aggressive. The project is funded by Prostate Cancer UK.
