PURPOSE: The management of malignant brain metastases becomes a main issue for the treatment of patients, because of the survival extension related to the improvement in systemic treatments. Robotic stereotactic radiosurgery (RSR) is a new approach i...
Lung cancer is still one of the most common causes of death around the world, while there is overwhelming evidence that the environment and lifestyle factors are predominant causes of most sporadic cancers. However, when applying human-behaviour indi...
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to build a model of machine learning (ML) for the prediction of mortality in patients with isolated moderate and severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).

INTRODUCTION: This is a retrospective study conducted to report the tumor control and late toxicity outcomes of patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer undergoing combination external beam radiation therapy and low dose rate brachytherapy (LD...
PURPOSE: Precise segmentation of bladder walls and tumor regions is an essential step toward noninvasive identification of tumor stage and grade, which is critical for treatment decision and prognosis of patients with bladder cancer (BC). However, th...
PURPOSE: Bronchoscopy is useful in lung cancer detection, but cannot be used to differentiate cancer types. A computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system was proposed to distinguish malignant cancer types to achieve objective diagnoses.
