Latest AI and machine learning research in colon cancer for healthcare professionals.
We present a case of a 72-year-old man diagnosed with rectal cancer invading the urinary bladder/prostate. Preoperative chemoradiotherapy substantially reduced the tumor size. In collaboration with urologists, robot-assisted low anterior resection with total cystectomy was performed using the da Vinci Xi system. Depending on the surgical situation, the colorectal surgeon and urologist could smooth...
The patient was referred to our hospital because of bloody stool and anorectal pain, and a colonoscopy revealed a tumor in the lower rectum. Although no distant metastasis was found, the tumor was suspected to have invaded the distal prostate. Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy(45 Gy/25 Fr with S-1)resulted in tumor shrinkage and symptomatic improvement, however, the primary tumor remained in close pro...
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been used for diagnosis and outcome prediction in clinical practice. Furthermore, AI in digestive endoscopy has attra...
BACKGROUND: Colonoscopy can detect colorectal adenomas and reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer, but there are still many missing diagnoses. Arti...
MOTIVATION: Tumor mutational burden (TMB) is an indicator of the efficacy and prognosis of immune checkpoint therapy in colorectal cancer (CRC). In ge...
Robotic colonoscopes could potentially provide a comfortable, less painful and safer alternative to standard colonoscopy. Recent exciting developments...
MOTIVATION: The molecular subtyping of gastric cancer (adenocarcinoma) into four main subtypes based on integrated multiomics profiles, as proposed by...
PURPOSE: Natural language processing (NLP) applied to radiology reports can help identify clinically relevant M1 subcategories of patients with colore...
Cancer recurrence is the diagnosis of a second clinical episode of cancer after the first was considered cured. Identifying patients who had experienc...
An 87-year-old female was admitted for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) due to obstructive jaundice. On admission, total bilirubi...
RAS is a signaling protein associated with the cell membrane that is mutated in up to 30% of human cancers. RAS signaling has been proposed to be regu...
Colorectal cancer incidence has continually fallen among those 50 years old and over. However, the incidence has increased in those under 50. Even wit...
Robotic esophageal surgery is becoming more widely adopted. Several publications on the feasibility, short-term outcomes and technical aspects are ava...
BACKGROUND: Early stage diagnosis of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is challenging due to the lack of specific diagnostic biomarkers. However...
BACKGROUND: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a formidable challenge for patients and clinicians.
MicroRNAs constitute small non-coding RNAs that play a pivotal role in regulating the translation and degradation of mRNA and have been associated wit...
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is the preferred technique for treating early gastric cancers including poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma w...
Colorectal cancer lymph node metastasis, which is highly associated with the patient's cancer recurrence and survival rate, has been the focus of many...
