Dual-tracer PET Radiomics for Prostate Cancer Stratification

June 17, 2026 updated by: Yongxiang Tang, Xiangya Hospital of Central South University

Dual-tracer PET/CT Interpretable Radiomics for Pathological Classification and Prognostic Stratification of Prostate Cancer

This single-center retrospective study aims to develop an interpretable radiomics model based on dual-tracer PET/CT to preoperatively predict the postoperative pathological Gleason grade group in treatment-naïve prostate cancer patients. A machine learning-based three-class prediction model will be constructed and interpreted using SHAP. Its performance will be compared with systematic biopsy results, assessing grading accuracy and prognostic value for biochemical recurrence-free survival.
