Abstract

Locally advanced prostate cancer (PCa) is associated with a high recurrence rate even after curative treatment. We aimed to develop a precise risk model by integrating the status of intraductal carcinoma of the prostate (IDC-P) and the International Society of Urological Pathology Grade Group (ISUP GG) with deep learning (DL)-based grading to predict clinical recurrence after intensity-modulated r…
