ArXi:2603.18460v1 Announce Type: cross Prostate cancer is a leading cause of mortality in men, yet interpretation of T2-weighted prostate MRI remains challenging due to subtle and heterogeneous lesions. We developed an interpretable framework for automatic cancer detection using a small dataset of 162 T2-weighted images (102 cancer, 60 normal), addressing data scarcity through transfer learning and augmentation. We performed a comprehensive comparison of Vision Transformers (ViT, Swin), CNNs (ResNet18), and classical methods (Logistic Regression.
