Deep learning predicts ovarian cancer chemo response from CT scans

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a deep learning framework to predict patient response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy for ovarian cancer using CT scans. The model analyzes 3D lesion masks derived from pre-treatment CT images, encoding slices and aggregating them into a volumetric representation. This approach combines classification loss with contrastive regularization and hard-negative mining to better distinguish between responders and non-responders. Tested on a cohort of 280 patients, the model achieved a ROC-AUC of 0.73, suggesting its potential as an imaging-based stratification tool. AI

IMPACT Offers a potential non-invasive tool for stratifying ovarian cancer patients, guiding treatment decisions and avoiding ineffective therapies.

    Predicting Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Ovarian Cancer from CT Baseline Using Multi-Loss Deep Learning

    Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy: around 60% of patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage, with an associated 5-year survival rate of about 30%. Early identification of non-responders to neoadjuvant chemotherapy remains a key unmet need, as it could prev…
