BACKGROUND: In cT1 renal cell carcinoma (RCC), very few studies have compared oncological outcomes and renal function preservation rates in nephron-sparing robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) and percutaneous cryoablation (PCA).
About a third of patients with kidney cancer experience recurrence or cancer-related progression. Clinically, kidney cancer prognoses may be quite different, even in patients with kidney cancer at the same clinical stage. Therefore, there is an urgen...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Pathomics, the fusion of digitalized pathology and artificial intelligence, is currently changing the landscape of medical pathology and biologic disease classification. In this review, we give an overview of Pathomics and summariz...
Preserving renal function after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is important and influenced by the technique of renal reconstruction among other parameters, including ischemia time and amount of healthy renal tissue resected. It is believe...
The aim of this study was to discriminate malignant and benign clinical T1 renal masses on routinely acquired computed tomography (CT) images using radiomics and machine learning techniques.Adult patients undergoing surgical resection and histopathol...
Currently, partial nephrectomy as a nephron-sparing surgery is the standard treatment method of malignant kidney tumors stage T1 in the absence of contraindications. Robotic system is an intuitively convenient platform for performing partial nephrect...
In this research, we exploit an image-based deep learning framework to distinguish three major subtypes of renal cell carcinoma (clear cell, papillary, and chromophobe) using images acquired with computed tomography (CT). A biopsy-proven benchmarking...
