IMPORTANCE: Sarcopenia is an established prognostic factor in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC); the quantification of sarcopenia assessed by imaging is typically achieved through the skeletal muscle index (SMI), which can b...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Accurately assessing epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients is crucial for prognosis and treatment selection. This study aimed to construct and valid...
The study aims to identify histological classifiers from histopathological images of oral squamous cell carcinoma using convolutional neural network (CNN) deep learning models and shows how the results can improve diagnosis. Histopathological samples...
Head and neck tumors (HNTs) constitute a multifaceted ensemble of pathologies that primarily involve regions such as the oral cavity, pharynx, and nasal cavity. The intricate anatomical structure of these regions poses considerable challenges to effi...
UNLABELLED: Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are becoming critical in developing and deploying personalized medicine and targeted clinical trials. Recent advances in ML have enabled the integration of wider ranges of data includ...
BACKGROUND: Cell-cell communication in a tumor microenvironment is vital to tumorigenesis, tumor progression and therapy. Intercellular communication inference helps understand molecular mechanisms of tumor growth, progression and metastasis.
INTRODUCTION: Several studies have emphasized the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and its subfields, such as machine learning (ML), as emerging and feasible approaches to optimize patient care in oncology. As a result, clinicians and decisi...
. Radiation therapy for head and neck (H&N) cancer relies on accurate segmentation of the primary tumor. A robust, accurate, and automated gross tumor volume segmentation method is warranted for H&N cancer therapeutic management. The purpose of this ...

BACKGROUND: Phagocytosis plays an important role in the fundamental process of immunity and maintains systemic tissue homeostasis. Phagocytosis function is assessed in radiotherapy to signify the prognosis of patient. Therefore, we designed a study t...
BACKGROUND: Using radiation therapy (RT) to treat head and neck (H&N) cancers requires precise targeting of the tumor to avoid damaging the surrounding healthy organs. Immobilisation masks and planning target volume margins are used to attempt to mit...
