Robotic nephroureterectomy in the management of upper tract urothelial cancer: inching toward standard of care?

Upper-tract urothelial carcinoma is a relatively rare malignancy. Current guidelines strongly recommend radical nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff excision and template-based lymph node dissection for all high-risk upper-tract urothelial carcinomas. Although the open approach is still considered the standard of care, evolution of minimally invasive approaches especially the robotic-assisted appr...

Computed Tomography Texture Features and Risk Factor Analysis of Postoperative Recurrence of Patients with Advanced Gastric Cancer after Radical Treatment under Artificial Intelligence Algorithm.

Computer tomography texture analysis (CTTA) based on the V-Net convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm was used to analyze the recurrence of advanced gastric cancer after radical treatment. Meanwhile, the clinical characteristics of patients were analyzed to explore the recurrence factors. 86 patients who underwent the advanced radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer were retrospectively selec...
