Artificial Intelligence algorithms for the standardization of prostate cancer screening
9 settembre 2024Lo Sasso A., Bellantuono L., Facchini L., Amato E., Porcelli F., Frascella P., Bellotti R. Prostate cancer stands as the most prevalent cancer among males in Italy, comprising 18.5% of all male cancer diagnoses. Nearly a quarter of men receive a prostate cancer diagnosis between ages 50 and 60. Detecting this cancer early could potentially […]
