Beyond Multiparametric MRI and towards Radiomics to Detect Prostate Cancer: A Machine Learning Model to Predict Clinically Significant Lesions.

ABSTRACT: The risk of misclassifying clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) by multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging is consistent, also using the updated PIRADS score and although different definitions of csPCa, patients with Gleason Grade group (GG) ≥ 3 have a significantly worse prognosis. This study aims to develop a machine learning model predicting csPCa (i.e., any GG ≥ 3 lesion at target biopsy) by mpMRI radiomic features and analyzing similarities between GG groups. One hundred and two patients with 117 PIRADS ≥ 3 lesions at mpMRI underwent target+systematic biopsy, providing histologic diagnosis of PCa, 61 GG < 3 and 56 GG ≥ 3. Features were generated locally from an apparent diffusion coefficient and selected, using the LASSO method and Wilcoxon rank-sum test (p <
