Abstract

AIM: This study aimed to assess and compare the performance of nomograms and machine learning (ML) techniques using preoperative biomarkers for predicting side-specific extraprostatic extension (EPE) in prostate cancer, which is linked to poor outcomes and early recurrence. Accurate preoperative prediction can guide clinical decisions and improve treatment.
