RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Deep learning can enhance the performance of multimodal image analysis, which is known for its noninvasive attributes and complementary efficacy, in predicting axillary lymph node (ALN) metastasis. Therefore, we established ...
PURPOSE: A practical noninvasive method is needed to identify lymph node (LN) status in breast cancer patients diagnosed with a suspicious axillary lymph node (ALN) at ultrasound but a negative clinical physical examination. To predict ALN metastasis...
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to develop a deep learning-and-radiomics-based ultrasound nomogram for the evaluation of axillary lymph node (ALN) metastasis risk in breast cancer patients ≥ 75 years.
BACKGROUND: This study aims to develop a stacking model for accurately predicting axillary lymph node (ALN) response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) using longitudinal MRI in breast cancer.

OBJECTIVE: This study seeks to construct a machine learning model that merges clinical characteristics with ultrasound radiomic analysis-encompassing both the intratumoral and peritumoral-to predict the status of axillary lymph nodes in patients with...
BACKGROUND: The most common route of breast cancer metastasis is through the mammary lymphatic network. An accurate assessment of the axillary lymph node (ALN) burden before surgery can avoid unnecessary axillary surgery, consequently preventing surg...
Accurate detection of axillary lymph node (ALN) metastases in breast cancer is crucial for clinical staging and treatment planning. This study aims to develop a deep learning model using clinical implication-applied preprocessed computed tomography ...

BACKGROUND: Sentinel lymph node (SLN) status is a clinically important prognostic biomarker in breast cancer and is used to guide therapy, especially for hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative cases. However, invasive lymph node staging is increasi...
