AI Revolution in Prostate Cancer with Dr. Daniel Spratt

AI has existed for decades, but modern deep learning is finally delivering precision decisions in clinic. Dr. Spratt details how ArteraAI’s predictive biomarker—validated on long-term randomized data—can spare roughly two-thirds of eligible men from ADT without compromising outcomes. We unpack ADT’s quality-of-life trade-offs, practical training and nutrition strategies to preserve muscle, and where AI is headed next (post-surgery models, higher-risk disease). You’ll also hear a clear framework for shared decision-making so men are treated as people, not just numbers.Key Points✅ AI meets prostate cancer. ArteraAI, developed by Dr. Daniel Spratt’s team, is now part of the NCCN guidelines—helping doctors know which patients truly benefit from hormone therapy.✅ Two-thirds can skip ADT. Long-term data from the RTOG 9408 trial show most men can avoid the side effects of hormone therapy without affecting outcomes.✅ Quality of life first. Treatments should improve survival or well-being—if they don’t, they shouldn’t be used.✅ Lifestyle still matters. Exercise, protein, and resistance training help men on ADT preserve muscle and energy.✅ The future is personalized. New AI models will soon guide therapy for higher-risk patients and integrate full-body health data for truly tailored care.⏱️ Time-Stamped Highlights00:00 – Why AI in prostate cancer now? From buzzword to bedside with ArteraAI.01:30 – Deep learning vs. “human-defined” inputs; beyond Gleason to hundreds of slide features.03:10 – Landmark validation: RTOG 9408 and how the model predicts who benefits from ADT.05:00 – ADT trade-offs: longevity vs. libido, energy, bone/muscle; treat only if it improves life or survival.07:15 – “Exercise is medicine”: the 10-minute rule, protein targets, and resistance training on ADT.09:00 – Current indication: primarily intermediate-risk (Gleason 7) men receiving radiation.10:45 – What’s next: models for higher-risk and post-prostatectomy patients; shorter-course ADT questions.13:00 – “Black box” & explainability: why robust external validation matters for trust.15:10 – Access & coverage: ordering via online portal; CMS coverage; what patients can ask their doctors.17:20 – Shared decision-making: reduce PSA anxiety; treat the person, not the number.___________________________________🌱 Partner OffersProLon 5-Day Fasting Mimicking Diet — Enjoy fasting benefits with food.
