Accurate delineation of the intraprostatic gross tumor volume (GTV) is a prerequisite for treatment approaches in patients with primary prostate cancer (PCa). Prostate-specific membrane antigen PET (PSMA PET) may outperform MRI in GTV detection. Howe...
PURPOSE: This paper describes the open cohort CROSS-TRACKS, which comprises population-based data from primary care, secondary care and national registries to study patient pathways and transitions across sectors while adjusting for sociodemographic ...
Machine learning (ML) has shown its potential to improve patient care over the last decade. In organ transplantation, delayed graft function (DGF) remains a major concern in deceased donor kidney transplantation (DDKT). To this end, we harnessed ML t...
BACKGROUND: Focal therapy (FT) with its favorable side-effect profile represents an option between active surveillance and traditional whole-gland treatment in localized prostate cancer (PCa). Consensus statements recommend eligibility criteria based...
BACKGROUND: Racial disparities in health care are well documented in the United States. As machine learning methods become more common in health care settings, it is important to ensure that these methods do not contribute to racial disparities throu...
OBJECTIVE: The mitotic count of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) is closely associated with the risk of planting and metastasis. The purpose of this study was to develop a predictive model for the mitotic index of local primary GIST, based on d...
To evaluate whether radiomic features from contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CE-CT) can identify DNA mismatch repair deficient (MMR-D) and/or tumor mutational burden-high (TMB-H) endometrial cancers (ECs). Patients who underwent targeted massive...
