Deep learning radiomics can predict axillary lymph node status in early-stage breast cancer.

Nature communications
Accurate identification of axillary lymph node (ALN) involvement in patients with early-stage breast cancer is important for determining appropriate axillary treatment options and therefore avoiding unnecessary axillary surgery and complications. Her...

Convolutional Neural Network Detection of Axillary Lymph Node Metastasis Using Standard Clinical Breast MRI.

Clinical breast cancer
BACKGROUND: Axillary lymph node status is important for breast cancer staging and treatment planning as the majority of breast cancer metastasis spreads through the axillary lymph nodes. There is currently no reliable noninvasive imaging method to de...

Artificial neural network models to predict nodal status in clinically node-negative breast cancer.

BMC cancer
BACKGROUND: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is standard staging procedure for nodal status in breast cancer, but lacks therapeutic benefit for patients with benign sentinel nodes. For patients with positive sentinel nodes, individualized surgical s...

Comparison of robot-assisted modified radical neck dissection using a bilateral axillary breast approach with a conventional open procedure after propensity score matching.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: There is ongoing debate about whether or not robot-assisted thyroidectomy is appropriate for modified radical neck dissection (MRND). The purpose of this study was to compare the surgical outcomes of robot-assisted MRND with those of a co...

Evolution Strategies in Transaxillary Robotic Thyroidectomy: Considerations on the First 449 Cases Performed.

Journal of laparoendoscopic & advanced surgical techniques. Part A
BACKGROUND: In the past 20 years, the fast spread of new surgical technologies has reached an important peak with the advent of the robotic surgery. Many studies have been run about a cosmetic desire to avoid neck scars after thyroid surgery and this...

[Robot-assisted transaxillary thyroid surgery; 5 years later].

Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde
Five years ago, robot-assisted transaxillary thyroidectomy (RATT) was introduced in the Netherlands. The major advantage of this technique, when compared to the conventional approach, is the prevention of a potentially disfiguring scar in the neck. I...

Robot-assisted transaxillary thyroidectomy: surgical technique.

European annals of otorhinolaryngology, head and neck diseases
Robot-assisted transaxillary thyroid surgery avoids the need for a neck incision. It consists of thyroid lobectomy and isthmectomy for moderately large unilateral benign nodules. The surgical imperatives are the same as for conventional surgery, but ...

Wearable device for axillary lymph node screening in breast cancer based on infrared thermography and artificial intelligence.

Breast cancer research : BCR
BACKGROUND: Breast cancer (BC) is the most prevalent cancer among women worldwide, and patients with metastasis to axillary lymph nodes (ALN) experience significantly lower survival rates. Current imaging-based screening methods often suffer from low...

Ultrasound-based deep learning radiomics for enhanced axillary lymph node metastasis assessment: a multicenter study.

The oncologist
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...
