Prostate cancer

Biopsy information and protein Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) levels are the most robust information available to oncologists worldwide to diagnose and decide therapies for prostate cancer patients. However, prostate cancer presents a high risk of recurrence, and the technologies used to evaluate it demand more complex resources. This paper aims to predict Biochemical Recurrence (BCR) based on Whole Slide Images (WSI) of biopsies, Gleason scores, and PSA levels.

Prostate cancer is a major global health challenge. In this study, we present an approach for the detection and grading of prostate cancer through the semantic segmentation of adenocarcinoma tissues, specifically focusing on distinguishing between Gleason patterns 3 and 4. Our method leverages deep learning techniques to improve diagnostic accuracy and enhance patient treatment strategies. We developed a new dataset comprising 100 digitized whole-slide images of prostate needle core biopsy specimens, which are publicly available for research purposes.
