For decades, prostate cancer treatment required critical decision-making based on an imperfect picture of the exact location and extent of the cancer. Artificial intelligence, however, can provide a much clearer, three-dimensional picture of each patient's cancer, helping us match the treatment to the individual. We're delighted to welcome board-certified urologist Dr. Pankaj Jain of Arizona Urology as today's guest. Dr. Jain completed his urology residency at Northwestern University. He is recognized as a leader in minimally invasive surgery and for adopting innovative technologies at the forefront of urologic care. Dr. Jain joins me today to explore how artificial intelligence is changing the way we understand and treat prostate cancer. I'm especially excited to discuss Unfold AI, a revolutionary new tool for planning and guiding prostate cancer treatment. Stay tuned to learn how AI is changing how we understand, plan for, and treat prostate cancer. We're excited to partner with Avenda Health to bring you this episode!

Today's guest is Dr. Austin Slade, a nationally and internationally recognized urologic surgeon and one of the most experienced HoLEP specialists in the United States.
