PURPOSE: Head and Neck (H&N) cancer accounts for 3% of cancer cases in the United States. Precise tumor segmentation in H&N is of utmost importance for treatment planning and administering personalized treatment dose. We aimed to develop an automatic...
. Previous methods for robustness evaluation rely on dose calculation for a number of uncertainty scenarios, which either fails to provide statistical meaning when the number is too small (e.g., ∼8) or becomes unfeasible in daily clinical practice wh...

OBJECTIVE: Machine learning has been effective in other areas of medicine, this study aims to investigate this with regards to HNC and identify which algorithm works best to classify malignant patients.
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess reporting quality of machine learning (ML) algorithms in the head and neck oncology literature using the TRIPOD-AI criteria.
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) is a potential therapeutic target across various tumor types. Here, we aimed to devise a radiomic model capable of predicting the IDH1 expression levels in patients with head and neck squamo...
Dysregulated super-enhancer (SE) results in aberrant transcription that drives cancer initiation and progression. SEs have been demonstrated as novel promising diagnostic/prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets across multiple human cancers. He...
