Artificial Intelligence Program Helps Detect Prostate Cancer

The FDA has authorized the first artificial intelligence software to help doctors detect prostate cancer. The program, called Paige Prostate, is the first approved AI system in pathology. "We really believe this product can make a huge difference," Paige CEO Leo Grady, PhD, says. The program was approved to help doctors, not to replace them. "For a second opinion today, you ship a glass slide to somebody else or you do another stain that's really expensive or you do another molecular test," Grady says.
