Endoscopic-assisted breast surgery (EABS) provides better cosmetic outcomes for breast cancer patients with small incisions in an inconspicuous area. However, an extended incision and heavy assistant retraction are usually required for an adequate e...
OBJECTIVE: To explore the value of combined radiomics and deep learning models using different machine learning algorithms based on mammography (MG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for predicting axillary lymph node metastasis (ALNM) in breast c...

IntroductionThe study aims to evaluate the performance of an interpretable machine learning model in predicting preoperative axillary lymph node metastasis using primary breast cancer and lymph node features derived from contrast-enhanced mammography...
OBJECTIVE: This study explores the value of combining intratumoral and peritumoral radiomics features from ultrasound imaging with clinical characteristics to assess axillary lymph node burden in breast cancer patients.
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Preoperative assessment of axillary lymph node (ALN) status is essential for breast cancer management. This study explores the use of photoacoustic (PA) imaging combined with attention-guided deep learning (DL) for precise p...
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis of primary breast cancer and in axillary lymph node (ALN) metastasis. However, the imaging features that are clinically crucial for lymph node metastasis have not been fully el...

BACKGROUND: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis that assesses the diagnostic performance of deep learning algorithms applied to breast MRI for predicting axillary lymph nodes metastases in patients of breast cancer.
The presence of axillary lymph node metastasis (ALNM) in breast cancer patients is an important factor in deciding whether to have axillary surgery or pursue alternative treatments. Based on axillary ultrasound (US) and histopathologic data, three gr...
BACKGROUND: Accurate preoperative assessment of axillary lymph node metastasis (ALNM) in breast cancer is crucial for guiding treatment decisions. This study aimed to develop a deep-learning radiomics model for assessing ALNM and to evaluate its impa...
