• Abstract: Recently, a new form of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) called synthetic correlated diffusion (CDI$^s$) imaging was introduced and showed considerable promise for clinical decision support for cancers such as prostate cancer when compared to current gold-standard MRI techniques. However, the efficacy for CDI$^s$ for other forms of cancers such as breast cancer has not been as well-explored nor have CDI$^s$ data been previously made publicly available. Motivated to advance efforts in the development of computer-aided clinical decision support for breast cancer using CDI$^s$, we introduce Cancer-Net BCa, a multi-institutional open-source benchmark dataset of volumetric CDI$^s$ imaging data of breast cancer patients. Cancer-Net BCa contains CDI$^s$ volumetric images from a pre-treatment cohort of 253 patients across ten institutions, along with detailed annotation metadata (the lesion type, genetic subtype, longest diameter on the MRI (MRLD), the Scarff-Bloom-Richardson (SBR) grade, and the post-treatment breast cancer pathologic complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy). We further examine the demographic and tumour diversity of the Cancer-Net BCa dataset to gain deeper insights into potential biases. Cancer-Net BCa is publicly available as a part of a global open-source initiative dedicated to accelerating advancement in machine learning to aid clinicians in the fight against cancer.

  This study presents a model that predicts pCR in breast cancer patients using dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps. Our approach extracts features from both DCE MRI and ADC using an encoder with a self-attention mechanism, leveraging radiomics to guide feature extraction from tumor-related regions.

  In Canada, prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer in men and accounted for 20% of new cancer cases for this demographic in 2022. There has been significant interest in the development of deep neural networks for prostate cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment planning using diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) data. In this study, we explore the efficacy of latent diffusion for generating realistic prostate DWI data through the introduction of an anatomic-conditional controlled latent diffusion strategy.

  The prevalence of breast cancer continues to grow, affecting about 300,000 females in the United States in 2023. The gold-standard Scarff-Bloom-Richardson (SBR) grade has been shown to consistently indicate a patient's response to chemotherapy. In this paper, we study the efficacy of deep learning for breast cancer grading based on synthetic correlated diffusion (CDI$s$) imaging.
