Determining the right prostate cancer treatment for you
Following a cancer diagnosis, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed, making it challenging to decide on the right treatment option. Many people report feeling lost about next steps and a need for deeper education about their options.
The ArteraAI Prostate Test is an artificial intelligence precision medicine test, designed to help clinicians and patients come to a shared decision on the optimal personalized treatment plan.
Where does the ArteraAI Prostate test fit in the patient journey?
The test is designed to support clinical decision-making through risk stratification, determining suitability for active surveillance, and prediction of ST-ADT benefit for patients with localized prostate cancer.
How the ArteraAI Prostate Test helps
Minimizing the side effects of unnecessary treatment during cancer care
The standard of care for intermediate-risk localized prostate cancer is short-term androgen-deprivation therapy (ST-ADT) in combination with radiation therapy (RT + ST-ADT), but only ⅓ of patients may benefit from intensified treatment with ADT. ADT can have devastating side effects, such as sexual dysfunction, cognitive impairment, and metabolic syndrome.Spratt DE, et al. NEJM Evidence. 2023;2(8):EVIDoa2300023. https://evidence.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/EVIDoa2300023
Patients who find they will benefit from ADT can be confident in their decision to proceed with treatment, knowing that they are on an ideal course for their care. Conversely, patients whose results indicate no clear benefit from ADT can also feel confident in their choice to forego the treatment, assured that they are making the best decision for their health.
How one patient found peace of mind with ArteraAI
“I was looking for a treatment that could give me a better quality of life by minimizing the side effects….the ArteraAI Prostate Test revealed that I could avoid ADT and my treatment went well. I’m very glad I was able to avoid ADT.”

Frequently asked questions
Explore our FAQ section to find straightforward answers to your questions about the ArteraAI Prostate Test.
-
The ArteraAI Prostate Test is intended to help clinicians determine the therapeutic benefit for patients who have been diagnosed with localized prostate cancer who have not yet received radiation therapy (RT) or androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) before getting a biopsy.
-
The out-of-pocket cost for the ArteraAI Prostate Test will be based on your insurance plan. If you are covered by Medicare Plan B, you should have zero out-of-pocket costs for the ArteraAI Prostate Test. If you are covered by private insurance, financial liability will be subject to the terms of your plan taking into consideration copays, coinsurance and deductibles. You should contact billing@artera.ai for additional details about the estimated out-of-pocket liability for the test.
-
Results can be shared within 2-3 days after receipt of the patient’s specimen.
-
The ArteraAI Prostate Test offers prognostic and predictive insights. The prognostic information includes a score indicating various risks for you, like metastasis (cancer spreading) and survival, while predictive information informs whether you are likely to benefit from a specific therapy, e.g., a hormone therapy or androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).
-
The ArteraAI Prostate Test does not require any additional procedures, as it relies on your existing biopsy sample. The test also does not consume any tissue so it will not impact the ability to run additional tests that may need to consume tissue.
-
The ArteraAI Prostate Test has undergone rigorous validation. The algorithm has been developed using large sets of data, from thousands of patients and tens of thousands of pathology slide images (digitally scanned tissue slides) and has been clinically validated using many Phase 3 randomized trials. Multiple Phase 3 randomized trials with up to 15-year follow-ups were used to develop and validate the prognostic and predictive AI models.
-
The ArteraAI Prostate Test can increase your confidence by offering more clarity around your optimal treatment path, allowing you to engage in shared decision-making with your clinician.
-
The ArteraAI Prostate Test uses existing biopsy slides and does not consume tissue or require additional biopsies. As there are no additional medical procedures required for this test, there are no side effects or complications to be concerned about.
-
The ArteraAI Prostate Test is available as part of Artera’s CLIA-certified laboratory developed test (LDT) service. These tests have not been cleared nor approved by the FDA.
