This federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.393 - Cancer Cause and Prevention Research) provides $762,258 to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to conduct a clinical trial evaluating the use of a natural language processing (NLP) and artificial intelligence (AI)-based feedback system to improve patient decision-making and physician risk communication for men with prostate cancer.

The NLP+AI system will deliver real-time feedback to patients and physicians about key risks and rewards of treatment options discussed during prostate cancer consultations. This aims to reinforce patient awareness of tradeoffs, enhance risk perception, reduce decisional conflict, and improve shared decision-making and appropriateness of treatment choices. The study will also analyze variation in risk communication quality across patient subgroups to identify high-risk populations for targeted interventions. This 5-year award began on January 15, 2025 and will run through December 31, 2029.
