Hierarchical clustering is an important tool for extracting information from data in a multi-resolution way. It is more meaningful if driven by data, as in the case of divisive algorithms, which split data until no more division is allowed. However, ...
PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate whether a machine learning-based computed tomography (CT) texture analysis could predict the mutation status of V-Ki-ras2 Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) in colorectal cancer.
PURPOSE: Colorectal tumor segmentation is an important step in the analysis and diagnosis of colorectal cancer. This task is a time consuming one since it is often performed manually by radiologists. This paper presents an automatic postprocessing mo...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Prediction of lymph node metastasis (LNM) for early colorectal cancer (CRC) is critical for determining treatment strategies after endoscopic resection. Some histologic parameters for predicting LNM have been established, b...
This paper proposes a sensitive, sample preparation-free, rapid, and low-cost method for the detection of the B-rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma (BRAF) gene mutation involving a substitution of valine to glutamic acid at codon 600 (V600E) in colorect...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Risk prediction models aim at identifying people at higher risk of developing a target disease. Feature selection is particularly important to improve the prediction model performance avoiding overfitting and to identify the...
Irinotecan (CPT-11) is a drug used against a wide variety of tumors, which can cause severe toxicity, possibly leading to the delay or suspension of the cycle, with the consequent impact on the prognosis of survival. The main goal of this work is to ...

The strategy of using existing drugs originally developed for one disease to treat other indications has found success across medical fields. Such drug repurposing promises faster access of drugs to patients while reducing costs in the long and diffi...
Multicellular spheroids (hereinafter referred to as spheroids) are 3D biological models. The metabolomic profiles inside spheroids provide crucial information reflecting the molecular phenotypes and microenvironment of cells. To study the influence o...
