Engineering a more efficient way to diagnose prostate cancer - Science Nation

The video discusses the challenges faced by Marshall Blau after being diagnosed with prostate cancer, focusing on the role of biomarkers in diagnosis. It highlights the work of engineer Brian Denton and his team at the University of Michigan, who are developing computational models to evaluate the effectiveness of biomarkers. These models offer a faster and more efficient way to identify promising biomarkers compared to traditional clinical trials. The video also features pathologist Scott Tomlin, who emphasizes the importance of these models in improving early cancer detection and reducing unnecessary biopsies.
