Statistical and soft feature evaluation indices for prostate cancer prognostic factor assessment
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, statistical, artificial neural networks and fuzzy based feature evaluation indices are analysed in order to determine the importance of prostate cancer prognostic markers. Seven prognostic markers are assessed in terms of 3 output classes using logistic regression as a statistical method, multilayer feedforward back propagation neural networks (MLFFBPNN) as a neural network tool, and fuzzy k-nearest neighbour algorithm (FK-NN) as a fuzzy method. The efficiency of the MLFFBPNN and FK-NN based indices is shown where the statistically based one fails to identify a clinically significant factor.

Imaging Cellular Proliferation in Prostate Cancer with Positron Emission Tomography
Prostate cancer remains a major public health problem worldwide. Imaging plays an important role in the assessment of disease at all its clinical phases, including staging, restaging after definitive therapy, evaluation of therapy response, and prognostication. Positron emission tomography with a number of biologically targeted radiotracers has been demonstrated to have potential diagnostic and...

The insulin-like growth factor I receptor (IGF-IR) plays an essential role in the establishment and maintenance of transformed phenotype. Interference with the IGF-IR pathway by antisense causes reversal of the transformed phenotype in many rodent and human tumor cell lines. We stably transfected the PC-3 human prostate cancer cell line with an IGF-IR antisense RNA expression plasmid. The ...

PSA is a 33-KDa serine protease that is produced predominantly by prostate epithelium. However, it has been shown that about 30-40% of female breast tumors produce PSA and its production is associated with the presence of estrogen and progesterone receptors. We have now developed a new tissue culture system to study PSA production in breast cancer and its association with prognostic factors...
متن کاملSupport for the use of objective comorbidity indices in the assessment of noncancer death risk in prostate cancer patients
BACKGROUND Prostate cancer management involves a balance between the risks of cancer death against those from other causes. To evaluate the performance of several comorbidity indices in predicting comorbid death in a prostate cancer radiotherapy cohort. METHODS 2,131 men with localised prostate cancer treated with radical radiotherapy between 1999 and 2007 were studied. Tumour features, andro...

Background and objectives: Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of mortality among men worldwide, and the eighth cancer-related cause of death in Iran. Male sex hormones (androgens) are the main cause of prostate cancer cells. Triptorelin is considered a synthetic decapeptide analogue of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in the treatment of prostate cancer. This study aimed to evalua...
