• Abstract: In 2020, prostate cancer saw a staggering 1.4 million new cases, resulting in over 375,000 deaths. The accurate identification of clinically significant prostate cancer is crucial for delivering effective treatment to patients. Consequently, there has been a surge in research exploring the application of deep neural networks to predict clinical significance based on magnetic resonance images. However, these networks demand extensive datasets to attain optimal performance. Recently, transfer learning emerged as a technique that leverages acquired features from a domain with richer data to enhance the performance of a domain with limited data. In this paper, we investigate the improvement of clinically significant prostate cancer prediction in T2-weighted images through transfer learning from breast cancer. The results demonstrate a remarkable improvement of over 30% in leave-one-out cross-validation accuracy.

  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.
