A singular value decomposition linear programming (SVDLP) optimization technique for circular cone based robotic radiotherapy.

Physics in medicine and biology
With robot-controlled linac positioning, robotic radiotherapy systems such as CyberKnife significantly increase freedom of radiation beam placement, but also impose more challenges on treatment plan optimization. The resampling mechanism in the vendo...

Lung Lesion Detection in CT Scan Images Using the Fuzzy Local Information Cluster Means (FLICM) Automatic Segmentation Algorithm and Back Propagation Network Classification.

Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP
Lung cancer is a frequently lethal disease often causing death of human beings at an early age because of uncontrolled cell growth in the lung tissues. The diagnostic methods available are less than effective for detection of cancer. Therefore an aut...

Novel real-time tumor-contouring method using deep learning to prevent mistracking in X-ray fluoroscopy.

Radiological physics and technology
Robustness to obstacles is the most important factor necessary to achieve accurate tumor tracking without fiducial markers. Some high-density structures, such as bone, are enhanced on X-ray fluoroscopic images, which cause tumor mistracking. Tumor tr...

Overexpression of EMMPRIN is associated with lymph node metastasis and advanced stage of non-small cell lung cancer: a retrospective study.

BMC pulmonary medicine
BACKGROUND: Previous studies show that overexpression of EMMPRIN involved in the malignant biological behavior of tumors. This investigation was to disclose the expression status of EMMPRIN in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its clinical value...

Classifying cancer genome aberrations by their mutually exclusive effects on transcription.

BMC medical genomics
BACKGROUND: Malignant tumors are typically caused by a conglomeration of genomic aberrations-including point mutations, small insertions, small deletions, and large copy-number variations. In some cases, specific chemotherapies and targeted drug trea...

Chest wall dose reduction using noncoplanar volumetric modulated arc radiation therapy for lung stereotactic ablative radiation therapy.

Practical radiation oncology
PURPOSE: Stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR) to lung tumors close to the chest wall can cause rib fractures or chest wall pain. We evaluated and propose a clinically practical solution of using noncoplanar volumetric modulated arc radiatio...

Construction of a 26‑feature gene support vector machine classifier for smoking and non‑smoking lung adenocarcinoma sample classification.

Molecular medicine reports
The present study aimed to identify the feature genes associated with smoking in lung adenocarcinoma (LAC) samples and explore the underlying mechanism. Three gene expression datasets of LAC samples were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus da...

A method to combine target volume data from 3D and 4D planned thoracic radiotherapy patient cohorts for machine learning applications.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The gross tumour volume (GTV) is predictive of clinical outcome and consequently features in many machine-learned models. 4D-planning, however, has prompted substitution of the GTV with the internal gross target volume (iGTV)....

Selective cytotoxic and genotoxic activities of 5-(2-bromo-5-methoxybenzylidene)-thiazolidine-2,4-dione against NCI-H292 human lung carcinoma cells.

Pharmacological reports : PR
BACKGROUND: Thiazolidine-2,4-dione ring system is used as a pharmacophore to build various heterocyclic compounds aimed to interact with biological targets. In the present study, benzylidene-2,4-thiazolidinedione derivatives (compounds 2-5) were synt...

3D multi-view convolutional neural networks for lung nodule classification.

PloS one
The 3D convolutional neural network (CNN) is able to make full use of the spatial 3D context information of lung nodules, and the multi-view strategy has been shown to be useful for improving the performance of 2D CNN in classifying lung nodules. In ...
