QP Prostate flags a tiny tumor that a biopsy confirms in Girona

Diario de Mallorca reports that QP Prostate marked a tiny lesion on a 58-year-old man’s MRI at Clínica Girona. A biopsy confirmed cancer, and after surgery he says he is free of disease.

4 for a person

A tiny prostate cancer was found, confirmed and removed, and the man reports that he is free of disease.

Depth runs from 1, a small gain, to 5, survival.

What happened

Quibim, a company in Valencia, makes QP Prostate, an AI assistant that marks likely prostate cancer lesions on MRI. Diario de Mallorca reported on 5 November 2026 that the tool is in use at 12 public hospitals and eight private centers in Spain. At Clínica Girona, it marked a tiny lesion in red on a 58-year-old man’s prostate MRI. The radiologist advised a biopsy, which confirmed cancer. The man was operated on nine months before the report. He says that he is now free of disease and credits the AI with finding the tumor when it was tiny. The account is the patient’s and the clinic’s, and no source says whether radiologists would have found the lesion without the tool.

Status

Realized benefit.

Evidence

An independent news report supports the benefit.

Certainty

Very low.

Starts very low because no comparison was measured.

The system’s part

Not isolated. The tool marked the lesion and the radiologist advised the biopsy. No source compares the reading with and without the tool.

Limits

The account is one patient’s and his clinic’s. No source compares the reading with and without the tool.

Trade-offs

No costs or harms are reported in the sources.

Learns from data

Not shown. The report does not describe how the tool was built.

Later

Nothing later is known. The benefit was first reported on 5 November 2026, and no later report was found.

Details

AI system

Workflow: An AI assistant that marks and grades likely lesions on prostate MRI. A radiologist who reviews the marks and advises a biopsy.

Follow-up

Conditions for replication: A radiologist must review each mark. A biopsy must confirm the finding before treatment.

The entry

Sector: Healthcare (radiology).
Purpose: Quibim built QP Prostate to mark and grade likely prostate cancer lesions on MRI for radiologists.
