In giving him an early diagnosis for prostate cancer, Danny Hansen believes artificial technology saved his life.Watch Insight's episode AI: Friend or Foe – and whether the hype or hysteria is justified – on Tuesday 25 July at 8.30pm on SBS or on My father was diagnosed with it at the age of 60, while my uncle on my mother’s side also tested positive for it.
My next GP gave me regular PSA tests, but after considering my family history and seeing the antigens rise over time, he was unsure when to make the call to take the next steps. After all, medical imaging is expensive and biopsies are invasive, painful and require a significant recovery period. The specialist urologist sent me for more tests including an MRI. A few days later, I was told the scan had found a lesion on my prostate.
But while AI had an important role in the early detection, I know it's not a silver bullet. I see it as another important tool in the clinician’s kit bag and I'm also very grateful to all of the medical professionals involved in my treatment.
