BACKGROUND: Early death after a treatment can be seen as a therapeutic failure. Accurate prediction of patients at risk for early mortality is crucial to avoid unnecessary harm and reducing costs. The goal of our work is two-fold: first, to evaluate ...

PURPOSE: Randomized trials have shown that honey is effective for the prevention of radiation-induced mucositis in head and neck cancer patients. Because there is no efficacious preventative for radiation esophagitis in lung cancer patients, this tri...
OBJECTIVE: Although the use of temozolomide in chemoradiotherapy is effective, the challenging clinical problem of pseudo progression has been raised in brain tumor treatment. This study aims to distinguish pseudo progression from true progression.

Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NACRT) is the standard treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), yet the pathological complete response (pCR) rates remain suboptimal. The introduction of immunotherapy has opened new avenues for LARC managem...
Local recurrence and distant metastasis were a common manifestation of locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LA-NPC) after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NACT). To validate the clinical value of MRI radiomic models based on deep learning ...
Purpose To develop and evaluate a deep learning-based prognostic model for predicting survival in locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LA-NPC) using serial MRI before and after induction chemotherapy (IC). Materials and Methods This mult...
To assess deep learning models for personalized chemotherapy selection and quantify the impact of baseline characteristics on treatment efficacy for elderly head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients who are not surgery candidates. A comp...
INTRODUCTION: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the predictive value of circulating lymphocyte subsets and inflammatory indexes in response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) in patients with rectal mucinous adenocarcinomas (MACs).
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.
