Prostate cancer is a common cancer with signifcant implications for global health. Prompt and precise identifcation is crucial forefcient treatment strategizing and enhanced patient results. Tis research study investigates the utilization of machine learning techniques to diagnose prostate cancer. It emphasizes utilizing deep learning models, namely VGG16, VGG19, ResNet50, and ResNet50V2, to extract relevant features. Te random forest approach then uses these features for classifcation. Te study begins by doing a thorough comparison examination of the deep learning architectures outlined above to evaluate their efectiveness in extracting signifcant characteristics from prostate cancer imaging data. Key metrics such as sensitivity, specifcity, and accuracy are used to assess the models’ efcacy. With an accuracy of 99.64%, ResNet50 outperformed other tested models when it came to identifying important features in images of prostate cancer. Furthermore, the analysis of understanding factors aims to ofer valuable insights into the decision-making process, thereby addressing a critical problem for clinical practice acceptance. Te random forest classifer, a powerful ensemble learning method renowned for its adaptability and ability to handle intricate datasets, then uses the collected characteristics as input. Te random forest model seeks to identify patterns in the feature space and produce precise predictions on the presence or absence of prostate cancer. In addition, the study tackles the restricted availability of datasets by utilizing transfer learning methods to refne the deep learning models using a small amount of annotated prostate cancer data. Te objective of this method is to improve the ability of the models to generalize across diferent patient populations and clinical situations. Tis study’s results are useful because they show how well VGG16, VGG19, ResNet50, and ResNet50V2 work for extracting features in the feld of diagnosing prostate cancer, when used with random forest’s classifcation abilities. Te results of this work provide a basis for creating reliable and easily understandable machine learning-based diagnostic tools for detecting prostate cancer. Tis will enhance the possibility of an early and precise diagnosis in clinical settings such as index terms deep learning, machine learning, prostate cancer, cancer identifcation, and cancer classifcation. 1. Introduction Innovative and precise diagnostic procedures are needed to improve patient outcomes for prostate cancer, the second most frequent malignancy in men worldwide. Prostate cancer identifcation must be nuanced because of its wide range of clinical manifestations and disease progression. While useful, traditional diagnostic procedures struggle to achieve the precision needed for prompt action. Using supervised machine learning algorithms to detect prostate cancer could improve diagnostic accuracy and clinical decision-making. Machine learning has revol
