This $538,553 Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.394 - Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research) will fund a longitudinal study to investigate the use of quantitative multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) features and circulating tumor cells (CTCs) as early markers of patient outcomes after radiation therapy (RT) and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in prostate cancer patients. The University of Miami will lead this research, which aims to develop a multivariable model that...
This Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), under the Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research program (CFDA 93.394), provides $598,046 to Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) to develop a rapid and reproducible magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) method. The goal is to quantitatively and accurately characterize prostatic peripheral zone tissue to limit overdiagnosis and overtreatment of prostate cancer patients without clinically significant disease. The key products...

This $704,563 Project Grant, awarded by the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.394 - Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research) to the Beckman Research Institute of the City of Hope, aims to develop a quantitative MRI (qMRI) toolset and automated prostate cancer tumor segmentation method to improve identification of clinically significant prostate tumors for radiation therapy.

The project involves three key objectives: 1) building a qMRI toolset using techniques like magnetic resonance fingerprinting, arterial spin labeling, and diffusion-weighted MRI to generate quantitative maps of tumor physiology and pathology; 2) developing an automated prostate cancer tumor probability model and segmentation method to differentiate clinically significant tumors from other prostatic tissues; and 3) validating the performance of the new qMRI-based tumor segmentation approach against biopsy results and the current standard of care using multiparametric MRI and PI-RADS scoring.

Under the grant, two sub-awards totaling over $400,000 were made to Carina Medical LLC and the University of Michigan/University of California, Riverside to support the development and validation of the AI-based tumor segmentation algorithms and specialized MRI pulse sequence techniques, respectively.
