SNRFCB: sub-network based random forest classifier for predicting chemotherapy benefit on survival for cancer treatment.

Molecular bioSystems
Adjuvant chemotherapy (CTX) should be individualized to provide potential survival benefit and avoid potential harm to cancer patients. Our goal was to establish a computational approach for making personalized estimates of the survival benefit from ...

Computer-Aided Diagnosis for Breast Ultrasound Using Computerized BI-RADS Features and Machine Learning Methods.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
This work identifies effective computable features from the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS), to develop a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for breast ultrasound. Computerized features corresponding to ultrasound BI-RADs catego...

Artificial neural network-based exploration of gene-nutrient interactions in folate and xenobiotic metabolic pathways that modulate susceptibility to breast cancer.

Gene
In the current study, an artificial neural network (ANN)-based breast cancer prediction model was developed from the data of folate and xenobiotic pathway genetic polymorphisms along with the nutritional and demographic variables to investigate how m...

Representation learning for mammography mass lesion classification with convolutional neural networks.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The automatic classification of breast imaging lesions is currently an unsolved problem. This paper describes an innovative representation learning framework for breast cancer diagnosis in mammography that integrates deep le...

Monitoring vascular normalization induced by antiangiogenic treatment with (18)F-fluoromisonidazole-PET.

Molecular oncology
BACKGROUND: Rationalization of antiangiogenics requires biomarkers. Vascular re-normalization is one widely accepted mechanism of action for this drug class. The interstitium of tumors with abnormal vasculature is hypoxic. We sought to track vascular...

Neoadjuvant endocrine treatment in early breast cancer: An overlooked alternative?

European journal of surgical oncology : the journal of the European Society of Surgical Oncology and the British Association of Surgical Oncology
During the last decade neoadjuvant endocrine therapy (NET) has moved from being reserved for elderly and frail non-chemotherapy candidates to a primary systemic modality in selected patients with hormone sensitive breast cancer. Neoadjuvant hormonal ...

Novel Balloon Surface Scanning Device for Intraoperative Breast Endomicroscopy.

Annals of biomedical engineering
Recent advances in fluorescence confocal endomicroscopy have allowed real-time identification of residual tumour cells on the walls of the cavity left by breast conserving surgery. However, it is difficult to systematically survey the surgical site b...

An Automatic Learning-Based Framework for Robust Nucleus Segmentation.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Computer-aided image analysis of histopathology specimens could potentially provide support for early detection and improved characterization of diseases such as brain tumor, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (NET), and breast cancer. Automated nucleus...

Robot-Guided Atomic Force Microscopy for Mechano-Visual Phenotyping of Cancer Specimens.

Microscopy and microanalysis : the official journal of Microscopy Society of America, Microbeam Analysis Society, Microscopical Society of Canada
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and other forms of scanning probe microscopy have been successfully used to assess biomechanical and bioelectrical characteristics of individual cells. When extending such approaches to heterogeneous tissue, there exists...
