Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer research intensely focuses on improving diagnosis and treatment through advanced imaging and AI-driven analysis. Current efforts leverage deep learning models, including U-Nets, transformers, and various convolutional neural networks, to analyze multi-parametric MRI, ultrasound, and digital pathology images for accurate segmentation, grading (Gleason score), and risk stratification. These advancements aim to enhance diagnostic accuracy, personalize treatment plans, and ultimately improve patient outcomes by facilitating earlier detection and more effective management of this prevalent cancer. The development of robust, reproducible AI tools that generalize across different imaging platforms and datasets is a key challenge and focus.
