Deep Learning and Clinical Data Fusion in Prostate Cancer: Diagnosis of Clinically Significant Lesions Using Multiparametric MRI

Key Points

The model enhances diagnostic efficiency by accurately classifying clinically significant prostate cancer lesions.
High AUC, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy metrics demonstrate the model's superiority over previous methods.
Using the PROSTATEx dataset, an ensemble approach integrates deep learning with clinical data for effective diagnosis.
This framework may reduce unnecessary interventions, advancing personalized patient management in prostate cancer.

Abstract

Motivation: Prostate cancer diagnosis requires accurate differentiation between clinically significant (csPCa) and non-significant (non-csPCa) lesions. Traditional methods, such as PSA and TRUS biopsy, lack specificity, often resulting in unnecessary biopsies. Goal(s): This study aims to enhance diagnostic accuracy and reduce interventions by developing an automated deep learning framework for lesion classification. Approach: Using the PROSTATEx dataset, an ensemble of DenseNet-121, ResNet-50, and ConvMixer integrates mpMRI and clinical data (lesion zone, PSAD). Results: The model outperformed individual networks and prior methods, showing high AUC, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy, promising improved diagnostic efficiency and patient outcomes. Impact: This study's integration of AI, multiparametric MRI, and clinical data refines prostate cancer diagnostics, equipping clinicians with a robust tool for precise lesion classification. This approach fosters personalized patient management, reduces overtreatment, and encourages further advancements in AI-driven oncology.
