Artificial Intelligence-Based Computer-Aided Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer

Conditions
the Application of Artificial Intelligence in the Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: the clinical use of artificial intelligence in the diagnosis of prostate cancer
Registration Number
NCT05513638
Lead Sponsor
The First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University
Brief Summary

One-fifth of all men will develop clinically significant prostate cancers (CsPC) in their lifetime. An estimated 268,490 new prostate cancer (PCa) cases and 34,500 deaths are expected in the United States during the year 2022, making PCa the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths in men. MRI with the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) is a current widely used communicative tool for both CsPC detection and guiding targeted prostate biopsy. The high level of expertise required for accurate interpretation and persistent inter-reader variability has limited consistency and it has hindered the widespread adoption of PI-RADS. Artificial intelligence (AI) shows a broad prospect for medical interpretation and triage in various challenging tasks , including the PCa detection and staging with MRI. While rapid technical advances are furthering the application of AI medical imaging, their implementation in clinical practice remains a major hurdle. Besides, the prospect of data-derived AI tool is to assist human experts rather than replace them, and whether AI can match or exceed the human experts is still a matter of debate. Therefore, despite strong potential, there is urgent need for research to better quantify the accuracy, generalizability and clinical applicability before the clinical use of an AI in a real-world clinical setting.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
biopsy or surgery confirmed newly-diagnosed prostate cancer and clinically significant prostate cancerAug,22nd,2022-Aug,22nd,2024

Biopsy or surgery confirmed newly-diagnosed prostate cancer and clinically significant prostate cancer will serve as our primary outcome. Details of follow up and disease progression for a period of two years following mp-MRI will also be collected. For patients with no suspicious lesions on mp-MRI or biopsy-negative, follow-up prostatic specific antigen for a period of two years will also be collected.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
positive rate of prostate biopsyAug,22nd,2022-Aug,22nd,2024

positive rate of prostate biopsy in each arm

surgery confirmed T and N staging of prostate cancerAug,22nd,2022-Aug,22nd,2024

surgery confirmed T and N staging of prostate cancer

the total reviewing timeAug,22nd,2022-Aug,22nd,2024

The total reviewing time of radiologists will be measured in this aim. The reviewing time will be defined as the time from initiation of interpretating prostate mp-MRI to the time the radiologists finish reviewing and assigning a PI-RADS score.
