Preoperative Molecular Subtype Classification Prediction of Ovarian Cancer Based on Multi-Parametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging Multi-Sequence Feature Fusion Network.

Abstract

In the study of the deep learning classification of medical images, deep learning models are applied to analyze images, aiming to achieve the goals of assisting diagnosis and preoperative assessment. Currently, most research classifies and predicts normal and cancer cells by inputting single-parameter images into trained models. However, for ovarian cancer (OC), identifying its different subtypes is crucial for predicting disease prognosis. In particular, the need to distinguish high-grade serous carcinoma from clear cell carcinoma preoperatively through non-invasive means has not been fully addressed. This study proposes a deep learning (DL) method based on the fusion of multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) data, aimed at improving the accuracy of preoperative ovarian cancer subtype classification. By constructing a new deep learning network architecture that integrates various sequence features, this architecture achieves the high-precision prediction of the typing of high-grade serous carcinoma and clear cell carcinoma, achieving an AUC of 91.62% and an AP of 95.13% in the classification of ovarian cancer subtypes.
