Machine learning explainability for survival outcome in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

International journal of medical informatics
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...

Development and experimental verification of a prognosis model for hypoxia- and lactate metabolism-associated genes in HNSCC.

Medicine
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...

Automatic head and neck tumor segmentation through deep learning and Bayesian optimization on three-dimensional medical images.

Computers in biology and medicine
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...

Automated annotation of virtual dual stains to generate convolutional neural network for detecting cancer metastases in H&E-stained lymph nodes.

Pathology, research and practice
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.

The Limitations of Artificial Intelligence in Head and Neck Oncology.

Advances in therapy
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...

Development of a patient reported outcomes based machine learning model to predict recurrences in head and neck cancer.

Oral oncology
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...

Machine learning in risk assessment for microvascular head and neck surgery.

European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery
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...

Improvement of deep learning-based dose conversion accuracy to a Monte Carlo algorithm in proton beam therapy for head and neck cancers.

Journal of radiation research
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). ...

On factors that influence deep learning-based dose prediction of head and neck tumors.

Physics in medicine and biology
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...

Navigating challenging patient factors in systemic therapy for head and neck cancer.

The oncologist
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...
