Predicting outcomes after bladder cancer surgery using deep learning

Deep Learning Radiomics Model for Predicting Post-cystectomy Outcome From Preoperative CT in Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer

First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University · NCT06092450

This study is testing a new way to use CT scan images to see if it can help predict how well patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer will do after surgery.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to develop and validate a deep learning radiomics model that utilizes preoperative enhanced CT images to predict postoperative survival outcomes in patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) following radical cystectomy. By analyzing radiomic features from CT scans, the study seeks to improve treatment decision-making and patient prognosis. Eligible participants include those with confirmed MIBC who have undergone a recent contrast-CT scan and have complete clinical data. The study excludes patients who have received neoadjuvant therapy or have poor-quality imaging.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients with pathologically confirmed muscle invasive bladder cancer who are scheduled for radical cystectomy.

Not a fit: Patients who have received neoadjuvant therapy or have incomplete clinical data may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this model could significantly enhance the ability to predict survival outcomes for bladder cancer patients, leading to more personalized treatment strategies.

How similar studies have performed: While the use of deep learning in radiomics is an emerging field, similar studies have shown promise in predicting outcomes in various cancers, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
