• 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.

  Breast cancer is one of the two cancers responsible for the most deaths in women, with about 42,000 deaths each year in the US. Current prognostic metrics are of little actionable value for 4 of the 5 women seemingly cured after local treatment. We develop algorithms that present a AUC of up to 0.9 in ROC analyses, using only extant data.
