Prostate Calculator
 

I think you will find this very interesting. There are several calculations that will be of interest to all newly diagnosed patients. Here is some of the information from the site itself.


"How does the Prostate Calculator work?


This service consists of a series of "calculators" that make foreasts about medical conditions by associating information about a patient (e.g., you) with a database of information about hundreds or thousands of other patients. The calculators use so-called "artificial intelligence" to make the predictions.


Where do you get your data?


Each calculator is based on data collected from real patients. For example, our lymph node spread model was developed using data from thousands of patients who had surgery to remove their prostates at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions. These data are compiled and studied to determine their characteristics. Then, an artificial neural network is created to model that data."
