Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has been widely used in treating head and neck tumors. However, due to the complex anatomical structures in the head and neck region, it is challenging for the plan optimizer to rapidly generate clinically...
Deep learning shows promise in autosegmentation of head and neck cancer (HNC) primary tumours (GTV-T) and nodal metastases (GTV-N). However, errors such as including non-tumour regions or missing nodal metastases still occur. Conventional methods oft...
BACKGROUND: The growing prominence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in medicine introduces both transformative possibilities and potential challenges. Our study focuses on the current status and perceptions of AI in Head and Neck Surgery (HNS), examin...
BACKGROUND: Computed tomography (CT) reconstruction algorithms can improve image quality, especially deep learning reconstruction (DLR). We compared DLR, iterative reconstruction (IR), and filtered back projection (FBP) for lesion detection in neck C...
BACKGROUND: This systematic review aimed to evaluate the performance of machine learning (ML) models in predicting post-treatment survival and disease progression outcomes, including recurrence and metastasis, in head and neck cancer (HNC) using clin...
Scanned particle therapy often requires complex treatment plans, robust optimization, as well as treatment adaptation. Plan optimization is especially complicated for heavy ions due to the variable relative biological effectiveness. We present a nove...
BACKGROUND: Cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF)-cancer cell crosstalk (CCCT) plays an important role in tumor microenvironment shaping and immunotherapy response. Current prognostic indexes are insufficient to accurately assess immunotherapy response ...
