BACKGROUND: Diagnosis and treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) induces psychological variables and treatment-related toxicity in patients. The evaluation of outcomes is warranted for effective treatment planning and improved dis...
Hypoxia and lactate metabolism are both distinctive characteristics of cancerous cells. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is one of the most prevalent forms of cancer. The objective of this study was to construct a prognostic model of gen...
Medical imaging constitutes critical information in the diagnostic and prognostic evaluation of patients, as it serves to uncover a broad spectrum of pathologies and deviances. Clinical practitioners who carry out medical image screening are primaril...
CONTEXT: Staging cancer patients is crucial and requires analyzing all removed lymph nodes microscopically for metastasis. For this pivotal task, convolutional neural networks (CNN) can reduce workload and improve diagnostic accuracy.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing head and neck oncology, offering innovations in tumor detection, treatment planning, and patient management. However, its integration into clinical practice is hindered by several limitations. These inc...
INTRODUCTION: Recurrence rates among Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) patients are high, with earlier detection associated with improved survival. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) have increasingly been found to predict patient care needs. Here, we examine...

PURPOSE: The integration of machine learning (ML) into microvascular surgery for the head and neck offers significant potential to enhance risk stratification, outcome prediction, and decision support. Traditional risk assessment methods are often li...
This study is aimed to clarify the effectiveness of the image-rotation technique and zooming augmentation to improve the accuracy of the deep learning (DL)-based dose conversion from pencil beam (PB) to Monte Carlo (MC) in proton beam therapy (PBT). ...
This study investigates key factors influencing deep learning-based dose prediction models for head and neck cancer radiation therapy. The goal is to evaluate model accuracy, robustness, and computational efficiency, and to identify key components ne...
Patients with head and neck cancer often present with complex challenges due to a substantial comorbidity burden, including substance use disorders, and the tumor's location in regions that are both cosmetically and anatomically sensitive. These chal...
