Automatic characterization of malignant disease is an important clinical need to facilitate early detection and treatment cancer. A deep semi-supervised transfer learning approach was developed for automated whole-body tumor segmentation prognosis on positron emission tomography (PET)/computed (CT) scans using limited annotations. This study analyzed five datasets consisting 408 prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT prostate cancer patients 611 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) lung, melanoma, lymphoma, head neck, breast patients. Transfer generalized the task across PSMA 18F-FDG PET/CT. Imaging measures quantifying molecular burden were extracted from predicted segmentations. Prognostic risk models evaluated follow-up measures, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, response assessment with prostate, cancers, respectively. The proposed demonstrated accurate six types.

Prostate-specific Membrane Antigen Reporting and Data System (PSMA-RADS) was introduced for standardized reporting, PSMA-RADS version 1.0 allows classification of lesions based on their likelihood representing a site prostate cancer PSMA-targeted positron emission tomography (PET). In recent years, this system has extensively been investigated. Increasing evidence accumulated that the different categories reflect actual meanings, such as true positivity in 4 5 lesions. Interobserver agreement studies demonstrated high concordance among broad spectrum 68Ga- or 18F-labeled, PSMA-directed radiotracers, even less experienced readers. Moreover, also applied to challenging clinical scenarios assist decision-making, example, avoid overtreatment oligometastatic disease. Nonetheless, with an increasing use 1.0, framework shown not only benefits, but limitations, follow-up assessment locally treated Thus, we aimed update include refined set order optimize lesion-level characterization best decision-making (PSMA-RADS 2.0).

Radical prostatectomy (RP) is the main treatment of prostate cancer (PCa). Biochemical recurrence (BCR) following RP remains first sign aggressive disease; hence, better assessment potential long-term post-RP BCR-free survival crucial. Our study aimed to evaluate a combined clinical-deep learning (DL) model using multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) for predicting in PCa. A total 437 patients with PCa who underwent mpMRI followed by between 2008 and 2009 were enrolled; radiomics features extracted from T2-weighted imaging, apparent diffusion coefficient maps, contrast-enhanced sequences manually delineating index tumors. Deep same set deep neural network based on pretrained EfficentNet-B0.

We compared their prognostic performances stratified fivefold cross-validation. In median follow-up 61 months, 110/437 experienced BCR. CDLM-Deep feature achieved best performance (hazard ratio [HR] = 7.72), DLM-Deep (HR 4.37) or RM-Multi 2.67).
