INTRODUCTION: Robot-assisted oesophagectomy (RAE) and thoracolaparoscopic oesophagectomy (TLE) are surgical techniques for the treatment of oesophageal cancer. This study aimed to compare the perioperative and mid-term outcomes of RAE versus TLE for ...
Salvage surgery for esophageal cancer after definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT) is effective, but it is associated with a high rate of perioperative complications. The indications for robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) are expand...
BACKGROUND: For locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), accurate response evaluation is necessary to select complete responders after neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) for a watch-and-wait (W&W) strategy. Algorithms based on deep learning have shown great val...
OBJECTIVES: A deep learning (DL) model using image data from pretreatment [ 18 F]fluorodeoxyglucose ([ 18 F] FDG)-PET or computed tomography (CT) augmented with a novel imaging augmentation approach was developed for the early prediction of distant m...
Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is the standard treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC), but its responsiveness varies among patients. A reliable tool for predicting CRT responses is necessary for personalized cancer treatment. In th...
OBJECTIVE: Artificial intelligence (AI) holds enormous potential for noninvasively identifying patients with rectal cancer who could achieve pathological complete response (pCR) following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT). We aimed to conduct a me...

PURPOSE: This study aimed to assess tumor regression grade (TRG) in patients with rectal cancer after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) through a machine learning-based radiomics analysis using baseline T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images.
IMPORTANCE: Toxic effects of concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) can cause treatment interruptions and hospitalizations, reducing treatment efficacy and increasing health care costs. Physical activity monitoring may enable early identification of pati...
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the performance of machine learning models in predicting pathological complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) in patients with rectal cancer using magnetic resonance imaging.
