The invention discloses a computerized auxiliary diagnosing method for malignant tumor in early stage based on deep learning algorithm. According to the invention, a deep convolution neural network is used to extract the high-level characteristics of an image layer by layer so that the obtained characteristic dimensions become smaller and smaller. To realize the dimension matching between an outputted probability predicting image and a pre-segmented image, the method uses the reverse convolution network to expand the dimensions of the characteristic image so as to obtain a dimension-consistent probability predicting image. The network generated probability predicting image extracts the binarization of the predicting image through the training of a softmax classifier to finally obtain the segmentation result of the prostate tissue. To some extent, the method effectively increases the accuracy and efficiency for doctors to diagnose prostate diseases.

The present invention is directed to sensitive and specific methods and kits for the detection of prostate cancer in a patient. The invention uses RT-PCR to detect the expression or change in expression of PSA in epithelial cells enriched from whole blood. The methods and kits on the invention represent a a significant improvement over previous methods of CaP diagnosis. According to one embodiment, prostate epithelial cells are isolated from blood and the RNA subjected to RT-PCR. The resulting cDNA is subjected to traditional PCR amplification with primers able to distinguish between the genomic copy of the gene and the cDNA copy resulting from CaP gene expression. This method provides an assay which is more sensitive, specific and reproducible as compared to conventional methods. Results disclosed herein demonstrate a correlation between the presence of PSA-expressing prostate epithelial cells with cancer recurrence which provides a diagnostic tool for the early detection of prostate disease.
