Oral cancer is one of the lethal diseases among the available malignant tumors globally, and it has become a challenging health issue in developing and low-to-middle income countries. The prognosis of oral cancer remains poor because over 50% of pati...

A large volume of medical data are labeled using nonstandardized nomenclature. Although efforts have been made by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) to standardize nomenclature through Task Group 263 (TG-263), there remain nonc...

OBJECTIVES: Recent studies have shown that deep learning based on pre-treatment positron emission tomography (PET) or computed tomography (CT) is promising for distant metastasis (DM) and overall survival (OS) prognosis in head and neck cancer (HNC)....
OBJECTIVE: Tissue slides from Oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OC-SCC), particularly the epithelial regions, hold morphologic features that are both diagnostic and prognostic. Yet, previously developed approaches for automated epithelium segmenta...
We report on the first clinical experience with the robotic-assisted extended "Sistrunk" approach (RESA) for access to constrained spaces of the upper aerodigestive tract. This prospective case cohort study include six patients that underwent RESA if...
Early regression-the regression in tumor volume during the initial phase of radiotherapy (approximately 2 weeks after treatment initiation)-is a common occurrence during radiotherapy. This rapid radiation-induced tumor regression may alter target coo...

PURPOSE: The segmentation of organs at risk (OAR) is a required precondition for the cancer treatment with image- guided radiation therapy. The automation of the segmentation task is therefore of high clinical relevance. Deep learning (DL)-based medi...
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is prevalent around the world and is associated with poor prognosis. OSCC is typically diagnosed from tissue biopsy sections by pathologists who rely on their empirical experience. Deep learning models may improve ...

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES: Radiation therapy (RT) for the treatment of patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) leads to side effects that can limit a person's oral intake. Early identification of patients who need aggressive nutrition supplementation via a...
PURPOSE: The generalizability and trustworthiness of deep learning (DL)-based algorithms depend on the size and heterogeneity of training datasets. However, because of patient privacy concerns and ethical and legal issues, sharing medical images betw...
