00:07.225 --> 00:07.900
There's two ways.

00:07.960 --> 00:10.776
One, is it gradually
enlarges in most men,

00:11.124 --> 00:12.625
and that can cause symptoms.

00:12.657 --> 00:15.222
And those symptoms are waking up
at night to empty your bladder,

00:15.358 --> 00:17.059
a decrease in urinary stream,

00:17.087 --> 00:18.992
all the symptoms
that men are familiar with

00:19.026 --> 00:20.527
regarding prostate enlargement.

00:20.632 --> 00:21.945
But the other thing that can happen

00:21.967 --> 00:24.142
is that you can
develop prostate cancer,

00:24.180 --> 00:25.819
which typically,
in its early stages,

00:25.851 --> 00:27.389
doesn't cause any symptoms at all.

00:27.762 --> 00:29.690
Prostate cancer is so frequent

00:29.804 --> 00:32.274
that if you do autopsies in men

00:32.309 --> 00:35.460
that die for some other reason,
at the age of 80 and beyond,

00:35.727 --> 00:38.362
about two-thirds of them or more
have prostate cancer

00:38.407 --> 00:39.579
when you look at their glands,

00:39.771 --> 00:42.285
and those prostate cancers
never would have progressed

00:42.324 --> 00:43.650
and never would have hurt men.

00:44.000 --> 00:46.474
So the goal is to find
the aggressive ones,

00:46.780 --> 00:49.020
but not to find and treat the ones

00:49.057 --> 00:50.650
that aren't ever
going to cause harm.

00:55.272 --> 00:58.720
One of the main assets of Optum

00:58.774 --> 01:02.764
is our ability to manage
the health of populations.

01:03.318 --> 01:07.210
What I mean by that is that we have
very sophisticated data systems,

01:07.466 --> 01:09.622
where if I'm
a primary care physician

01:09.771 --> 01:11.988
and I have my panel of patients,

01:12.579 --> 01:14.007
I don't necessarily understand

01:14.041 --> 01:15.354
what's happening
to every one of them

01:15.377 --> 01:16.506
at every point in time.

01:17.054 --> 01:19.909
But if I have a data asset
that can actually show me

01:20.155 --> 01:21.725
who's due for
breast cancer screening,

01:21.752 --> 01:23.530
who hasn't had
their cholesterol screening,

01:23.711 --> 01:25.789
who might be at risk for diabetes,

01:25.822 --> 01:28.715
who may have family risks for cancer
that I may not have recognized.

01:29.099 --> 01:33.739
The ability to detail the populations
that I'm responsible for,

01:33.768 --> 01:35.355
and give me actionable information

01:35.388 --> 01:37.720
down to the level of
the individual patient,

01:38.016 --> 01:40.228
is really a unique
skill set of Optum.
