An Explainable AI for Prostate Cancer Analysis
摘要
Prostate cancer comes under SDG 3—Good Health and Well-Being is a global health concern affecting millions of men, demanding precise analysis for early detection and effective treatment. This project pioneers, innovative techniques for prostate cancer analysis, utilizing AI-driven segmentation and advanced analytical methods to address this pressing concern. Prostate cancer poses a significant worldwide health challenge, potentially metastasizing to neighboring organs and bones, leading to pain and fractures. The primary aim of this project is to enhance the precision and efficiency of prostate cancer analysis for early detection and timely intervention. Approximately one in eight men receive a prostate cancer diagnosis during their lifetime, with a higher prevalence among older individuals and non-Hispanic black men, particularly those aged 65 and older. Awareness levels vary, with 47.3% of survey respondents aware of the condition, primarily through media outlets (21.2%) and healthcare professionals (9%). This project addresses varying prostate cancer rates in distinct regions (peripheral zone: 70–80%, transitional zone: 10–20%, central zone: 5% or less). It employs AI-driven segmentation, image processing, and machine learning for accurate tumor detection, classification, and risk assessment. An innovative aspect is developing an explainable AI system for transparent and expert-empowered analysis. The project uses AI to diagnose prostate cancer accurately and early. It combines AI-driven segmentation, advanced analytical methodologies, refined algorithms, and a user-friendly interface. The aim is to enhance patient care through accurate and interpretable prostate cancer analyses in underserved areas.
