Prostate Gleason Score Detection by Calibrated Machine Learning Classification through Radiomic Features

The Gleason score was originally formulated to represent the heterogeneity of prostate cancer and helps to stratify the risk of patients affected by this tumor. The Gleason score assigning represents an on H&E stain task performed by pathologists upon histopathological examination of needle biop...

description The Gleason score was originally formulated to represent the heterogeneity of prostate cancer and helps to stratify the risk of patients affected by this tumor. The Gleason score assigning represents an on H&E stain task performed by pathologists upon histopathological examination of needle biopsies or surgical specimens. In this paper, we propose an approach focused on the automatic Gleason score classification. We exploit a set of 18 radiomic features. The radiomic feature set is directly obtainable from segmented magnetic resonance images. We build several models considering supervised machine learning techniques, obtaining with the RandomForest classification algorithm a precision ranging from 0.803 to 0.888 and a recall from to 0.873 to 0.899. Moreover, with the aim to increase the never seen instance detection, we exploit the sigmoid calibration to better tune the built model.
