Using machine learning to predict radiation pneumonitis in patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy.

Physics in medicine and biology
To develop a patient-specific 'big data' clinical decision tool to predict pneumonitis in stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients after stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). 61 features were recorded for 201 consecutive patients wit...

Automatic weighing attribute to retrieve similar lung cancer nodules.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Cancer is a disease characterized as an uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells that invades neighboring tissues and destroys them. Lung cancer is the primary cause of cancer-related deaths in the world, and it diagnosis is a complex task f...

Fuzzy Clustering Applied to ROI Detection in Helical Thoracic CT Scans with a New Proposal and Variants.

BioMed research international
The detection of pulmonary nodules is one of the most studied problems in the field of medical image analysis due to the great difficulty in the early detection of such nodules and their social impact. The traditional approach involves the developmen...

Lung Cancer Detection Using Fuzzy Auto-Seed Cluster Means Morphological Segmentation and SVM Classifier.

Journal of medical systems
An effective fuzzy auto-seed cluster means morphological algorithm developed in this work to segment the lung nodules from the consecutive slices of Computer Tomography (CT) images to detect the lung cancer. The initial cluster values were chosen aut...

A dosimetric comparison of real-time adaptive and non-adaptive radiotherapy: A multi-institutional study encompassing robotic, gimbaled, multileaf collimator and couch tracking.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
PURPOSE: A study of real-time adaptive radiotherapy systems was performed to test the hypothesis that, across delivery systems and institutions, the dosimetric accuracy is improved with adaptive treatments over non-adaptive radiotherapy in the presen...

SNRFCB: sub-network based random forest classifier for predicting chemotherapy benefit on survival for cancer treatment.

Molecular bioSystems
Adjuvant chemotherapy (CTX) should be individualized to provide potential survival benefit and avoid potential harm to cancer patients. Our goal was to establish a computational approach for making personalized estimates of the survival benefit from ...

Advances in Uniportal Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery: Pushing the Envelope.

Thoracic surgery clinics
Uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) represents a radical change in the approach to lung resection compared with conventional VATS. Because the placement of the surgical instruments and the camera is done through the same incision, unipor...

Drug repositioning for non-small cell lung cancer by using machine learning algorithms and topological graph theory.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the leading causes of death globally, and research into NSCLC has been accumulating steadily over several years. Drug repositioning is the current trend in the pharmaceutical industry for ident...
