This study presents a classification-based diffusion model (CDM) that predicts glioma tumor growth using MRI data from patients. The model learns key features from patient data and classifies voxel changes, determining which new voxels to categorize as tumor based on tissue types. It utilizes an incremental growth approach, assessing features from the tumor, surrounding tissue, and neighboring voxels. With a training set of over half a million voxels from 17 patients, the CDM demonstrates significant improvements in prediction accuracy over existing models, aiding in treatment planning.
