Study Brief

Our research addresses a critical gap in the existing literature by systematically reviewing and evaluating AI models employed in urology cancer diagnosis. Integrating deep learning techniques in cancer diagnosis has demonstrated remarkable advancements in accuracy and speed, significantly impacting clinical decision-making and ultimately improving health outcomes.

The systematic review, conducted through thorough searches in Scopus, Microsoft Academic, and PubMed/MEDLINE databases, identifies and analyzes 48 relevant articles published within the last 20 years. Our evaluation focuses on quantitative and qualitative aspects, encompassing diverse urology subspecialties. Notably, 25 studies propose innovative approaches for prostate cancers, 15 for bladder cancers, and 8 studies delve into renal cell carcinoma and kidney cancer.

The findings reveal that AI models designed for urology cancer detection consistently achieve high accuracy rates ranging from 77% to 95%. Notably, deep learning approaches, particularly those utilizing convolutional neural networks, exhibit the highest accuracy among various techniques. This emphasizes the potential of AI models in transforming the landscape of urology cancer diagnosis.

Our study acknowledges the ongoing progress in developing AI models for urology cancer applications and underscores their promising trajectory. However, it also highlights the need for additional research, emphasizing the importance of further employing extensive, high-quality, and recent datasets to validate these AI models’ clinical performance.
