Biopsy-free detection and staging of cancer using a virtual staging score
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of predicting a cancer staging score from medical image data, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving patient data for a plurality of patients, wherein patient data for each of said plurality of patients includes one or more of an image volume of a suspected tumor in an organ, blood test data, demographic data, and ground truth tumor staging scores for the suspected tumor in said organ;
extracting features from said patient data, wherein features from said demographic data include a patient'"'"'s weight, height, age, body mass index, body surface area, organ size, any past history of cancer occurrence, and any health index test results; and
using the features extracted from said patient data to train a classifier to predict a cancer staging score for a new patient from one or more of an image volume of a suspected tumor in said organ, patient blood test data and patient demographic data of that new patient.

Abstract
A method for predicting a cancer staging score from medical image data includes receiving patient data for a plurality of patients, where patient data for each of the plurality of patients includes one or more of an image volume of a suspected tumor in an organ, blood test data, demographic data, and ground truth tumor staging scores for the suspected tumor in the organ, extracting features from the patient data, and using the features extracted from the patient data to train a classifier to predict a cancer staging score for a new patient from one or more of an image volume of a suspected tumor in the organ, patient blood test data and patient demographic data of that new patient.

14. A computer-implemented method of predicting a cancer staging score from medical image data, the method implemented by the computer comprising the steps of:
-
receiving patient data for a patient, wherein said patient data for the patient includes one or more of an image volume of a suspected tumor in an organ, blood test data, and demographic data; extracting features from said patient data, wherein features from said demographic data include a patient'"'"'s weight, height, age, body mass index, body surface area, organ size, any past history of cancer occurrence, and any health index test results; and providing said features to a classifier, wherein said classifier predicts a cancer staging score that is indicative of whether the patient'"'"'s organ is cancerous. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A non-transitory program storage device readable by a computer, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executed by the computer to perform operations for predicting a cancer staging score from medical image data, the operations comprising:
-
receiving patient data for a plurality of patients, wherein patient data for each of said plurality of patients includes one or more of an image volume of a suspected tumor in an organ, blood test data, demographic data, and ground truth tumor staging scores for the suspected tumor in said organ; extracting features from said patient data, wherein features from said demographic data include a patient'"'"'s weight, height, age, body mass index, body surface area, organ size, any past history of cancer occurrence, and any health index test results; and using the features extracted from said patient data to train a classifier to predict a cancer staging score for a new patient from one or more of an image volume of a suspected tumor in said organ, patient blood test data and patient demographic data of that new patient. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)
