Detecting cancer signals in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) high-throughput sequencing data is emerging as a novel noninvasive cancer detection method. Due to the high cost of sequencing, it is crucial to make robust and precise predictions with low-depth cfDN...
MOTIVATION: Bulk tumor samples used for high-throughput molecular profiling are often an admixture of cancer cells and non-cancerous cells, which include immune and stromal cells. The mixed composition can confound the analysis and affect the biologi...
Uveal melanoma (UVM) is the most common primary intraocular human malignancy with a high mortality rate. Aberrant DNA methylation has rapidly emerged as a diagnostic and prognostic signature in many cancers. However, such DNA methylation signature av...
OBJECTIVES: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of machine learning (ML) in predicting isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutations in patients with glioma and to identify potential covariates that could influence the diagnostic performance of ML.
OBJECTIVE: The present study aims to explore the role of smoking factors in the risk of lung cancer and screen the feature risk pathways of smoking-induced lung cancer.
Recent analysis identified distinct genomic subtypes of lower-grade glioma tumors which are associated with shape features. In this study, we propose a fully automatic way to quantify tumor imaging characteristics using deep learning-based segmentati...
BACKGROUND: The average sensitivity of conventional cytology for the identification of cancer cells in effusion specimens is only approximately 58%. DNA image cytometry (DNA-ICM), which exploits the DNA content of morphologically suspicious nuclei me...
Microsatellite instability (MSI) is characterized by high degree of polymorphism in microsatellite lengths due to deficiency in mismatch repair (MMR) system. MSI is associated with several tumor types and its status can be considered as an important ...

Cancers are regarded as malignant proliferations of tumor cells present in many tissues and organs, which can severely curtail the quality of human life. The potential of using plasma DNA for cancer detection has been widely recognized, leading to th...
