Doctors have developed an AI tool capable of predicting the effectiveness of abiraterone in treating prostate cancer. This breakthrough is particularly timely as the drug significantly reduces mortality rates among men diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. However, its use has been limited in cases where the cancer has not spread due to potential side effects. The test can differentiate patients who would benefit from abiraterone from those who can rely on standard treatments, therefore optimizing treatment plans and improving patient outcomes. This innovation was presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology conference.
The AI test that predicts which prostate cancer patients will benefit from abiraterone is expected to increase access to the drug while preventing unnecessary treatments.
Nick James highlights that abiraterone has dramatically improved outcomes for many men with advanced prostate cancer, and the AI tool will help identify those most likely to benefit.
