Artificial Intelligence Combined With Big Data to Predict Lymph Node Involvement in Prostate Cancer: A Population-Based Study

Abstract

We established an ML model based on big data for predicting LNI in PCa, and it could lead to a reduction of approximately 50% of ePLND cases. In addition, only ≤3% of patients were misdiagnosed with a cutoff value ranging from 5% to 20%. This promising study warrants further validation by using a larger prospective dataset.
