Research progress of radiomics and deep learning in prostate cancer
Prostate cancer(Pca)is one of the most common malignant tumors of male genitourinary system,and its incidence rate is increasing year by year.Therefore,early diagnosis,pathological classification,risk stratification and prognosis evaluation of Pca are crucial to the formulation of patient diagnosis and treatment plans.Radiomics and deep learning(DL)have made significant progress in Pca research,providing important tools for the realization of precision medicine in recent years.This article systematically reviews the applications and potential of these two techniques in Pca image segmentation,diagnosis,Gleason grading,prediction of extracapsular extension and metastasis,prognosis evaluation,and treatment decision-making.It also summarizes the achievements,limitations,and future improvement measures and development directions of current research,aiming to provide more precise and personalized diagnosis and treatment plans for Pca patients,thereby improving treatment effectiveness and quality of life.
