Significance of the cribriform morphology area ratio for biochemical recurrence in Gleason score 4 + 4 prostate cancer patients following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

BACKGROUND: In prostate cancer, histological cribriform patterns are categorized as Gleason pattern 4, and recent studies have indicated that their size and percentage are associated with the risk of biochemical recurrence (BCR). However, these studies included a mixture of cases with various Gleason scores (GSs). We therefore examined the prognostic value of the area and percentage of cribriform ...

AsymMirai: Interpretable Mammography-based Deep Learning Model for 1-5-year Breast Cancer Risk Prediction.

Background Mirai, a state-of-the-art deep learning-based algorithm for predicting short-term breast cancer risk, outperforms standard clinical risk models. However, Mirai is a black box, risking overreliance on the algorithm and incorrect diagnoses. Purpose To identify whether bilateral dissimilarity underpins Mirai's reasoning process; create a simplified, intelligible model, AsymMirai, using bil...
