The National Information Processing Institute (OPI) has received funding to develop an innovative platform that facilitates prostate cancer diagnosis. The cutting-edge tool will rely on artificial intelligence (AI) to assist medical experts in implementing the most optimal therapies. Every year, 1.2 million people are diagnosed with prostate cancer; in Poland, it is the most common solid tumour among men. OPI’s innovative platform will help doctors reduce the time needed to identify prostate lesions and reduce the number of painful biopsies. The project has been funded by the INFOSTRATEG programme of the Polish National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR). OPI experts will consult the medical aspects of the project with a team of doctors at the Lower Silesian Oncology Centre in Wrocław, Poland.
