It is a meaningful milestone for Deep Bio to conduct a joint research with Johns Hopkins Medicine, one of the top global universities, and the findings are remarkable for prostate cancer diagnosis using AI
Deep Bio, a pioneer in medical AI for digital pathology and cancer diagnostics support software, announced that Dr. Lotan from Johns Hopkins Medicine presented their collaborative research which utilized the deep learning-based algorithm for prostate cancer diagnosis support at a podium session in the American Urological Association (AUA) annual meeting 2023.
This joint research compared human pathologists and an AI algorithm in grading prostate biopsy specimens to predict biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy. Gleason score is one of the key elements to grade prostate cancer and can lead to different clinical decisions. For example, even though 3+4 and 4+3 Gleason scores are identical Gleason score 7s, each has a different prognosis. Gleason 3+4 requires more than active surveillance but tends to fare much better in prognosis than Gleason 4+3.
