Abstract :
Most developing countries face huge challenges in the medical field; scarce medical resources and inadequate medical personnel
will affect the development and stability of the society. Therefore, for most developing countries, the development of intelligent
medical systems can greatly alleviate the social contradictions arising from this problem. In this study, a new data decisionmaking intelligent system for prostate cancer based on perceptron neural network is proposed, which mainly makes decisions
by associating some relevant disease indicators and combining them with medical images. Through data collection, analysis and
integration of medical data, as well as the disease detection and decision-making process, patients are given an auxiliary
diagnosis and treatment, so as to solve the problems and social contradictions faced by most developing countries. Through the
study of hospitalization information of more than 8,000 prostate patients in three hospitals, about 2,156,528 data items were
collected and compiled for experiment purposes. Experimental data shows that when the patient base increases from 200 to
8,000, the accuracy of the machine-assisted diagnostic system will increase from 61% to 87%, and the doctor’s diagnosis rate will
be reduced to 81%. From the study, it is concluded that when the patient base reaches a certain number, the diagnostic accuracy
of the machine-assisted diagnosis system will exceed the doctor’s expertise. Therefore, intelligent systems can help doctors and
medical experts treat patients more effectively.
