About

Dr. Shih-Chang Chen is a leading figure in urological oncology and medical informatics, renowned for pioneering the application of artificial intelligence in prostate cancer management. His seminal work, "Artificial neural network for predicting pathological stage of clinically localized prostate cancer in a Taiwanese population" (2014), with 26 citations, represents a landmark contribution to precision oncology. In this study, Dr. Chen developed an artificial neural network (ANN) model that significantly outperformed traditional logistic regression in predicting pathological staging prior to radical prostatectomy. By integrating age, prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and body mass index, his model provided clinicians with a more accurate, non-invasive tool for risk stratification, directly improving surgical planning and patient counseling. This work not only demonstrated the superiority of machine learning over conventional statistical methods in a clinical setting but also established a framework for personalized cancer care in Asian populations. Dr. Chen’s research bridges computational science and clinical practice, offering a replicable paradigm for predictive modeling in urology. His contributions continue to inspire interdisciplinary approaches to cancer prognosis, making him a pivotal researcher in the evolution of AI-driven healthcare.
