Summary
A new deep learning model integrating MRI radiomics and clinical data accurately predicts perineural invasion (PNI) in prostate cancer (PCa). This tool aids in developing personalized treatment strategies for PCa patients.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Radiology
- Artificial Intelligence
Background:
- Perineural invasion (PNI) is a critical prognostic factor in prostate cancer (PCa).
- Accurate non-invasive prediction of PNI is essential for treatment planning.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate a predictive model for non-invasive PNI detection in PCa.
- Integrate biparametric MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical data.
Main Methods:
- Prospective study of 557 PCa patients undergoing MRI and radical prostatectomy.
- Development of clinical, radiomics, deep learning, and integrated (DLRC) models.
- Performance evaluation using ROC and PR curves, calibration, and decision curves.
Main Results:
- The integrated DLRC model achieved high performance in both training and validation cohorts.
- ROC-AUCs of 0.914 (training) and 0.848 (validation).
- PR-AUCs of 0.948 (training) and 0.926 (validation).
Conclusions:
- The DLRC model is a robust tool for predicting PNI in PCa patients.
- This model can assist in formulating effective treatment strategies.
- Non-invasive prediction of PNI improves patient management.
