This course explores contemporary prostate cancer (PCa) management in the rapidly evolving era of artificial intelligence. Participants will gain insight into how AI is reshaping key steps of the clinical pathway, from risk stratification and imaging interpretation to biopsy guidance, treatment selection, and outcome prediction. Emphasis is placed on the integration of AI-driven tools into daily clinical practice, highlighting both their potential advantages and current limitations. Through a combination of evidence-based lectures and practical examples, the course aims to provide clinicians with a clear and critical understanding of how artificial intelligence can enhance decision-making, personalize PCa management, and support multidisciplinary care while maintaining clinical responsibility and patient-centered outcomes.
