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...

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...
OBJECTIVES: In the postneoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) setting, conventional radiographic complete response (rCR) is a poor predictor of pathologic complete response (pCR) of the axilla. We developed a convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm to b...

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 ...
BACKGROUND: Accurately assessing the status of axillary lymph nodes (ALNs) is essential for devising optimal surgical plans and making informed treatment decisions in breast cancer (BC) patients.
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...
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...
PURPOSE: Natural language understanding (NLU) may be particularly well equipped for enhanced data capture from the electronic health record given its examination of both content-driven and context-driven extraction.
