OBJECTIVE: To compare the results of traditional laparoscopy and a simple, single-docking robotic approach for retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND), nephroureterectomy, and bladder cuff excision.
PURPOSE: Due to the high recurrence risk of nonmuscle invasive urothelial carcinoma it is crucial to distinguish patients at high risk from those with indolent disease. In this study we used a machine learning algorithm to identify the genes in patie...
BACKGROUND: Unlike Papanicolaou tests, there are no commercially available computer-assisted automated screening systems for urine specimens. Despite The Paris System for Reporting Urinary Cytology, there still is poor interobserver agreement with ur...
Adequate tumor detection is critical in complete transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) to reduce cancer recurrence, but up to 20% of bladder tumors are missed by standard white light cystoscopy. Deep learning augmented cystoscopy may impro...
Urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB) is the most common urinary cancer. White-light cystoscopy (WLC) forms the corner stone for the diagnosis of UCB. However, histopathological assessment is required for adjuvant treatment selection. Probe-base...
Accurate grading of non-muscle-invasive urothelial cell carcinoma is of major importance; however, high interobserver variability exists. A fully automated detection and grading network based on deep learning is proposed to enhance reproducibility. A...
