[Long-Term Survival of a Patient with Colon Cancer with Peritoneal Dissemination].

Gan to kagaku ryoho. Cancer & chemotherapy
This case involves a 76 year-old woman. A sigmoidectomy was performed for sigmoid colon cancer in August 2006. On histological examination, the cancer was shown to be tub2>tub1>por2, pSE, int, INF b, ly2, v0, pN0, p1 (Douglas), Stage Ⅳ. After surgery...

[A Patient with Rectal Cancer and Multiple Lung Metastases Treated with XELOX plus Bevacizumab (Bev) Therapy].

Gan to kagaku ryoho. Cancer & chemotherapy
The patient was a 76-year-old woman who underwent laparoscopic-assisted low anterior resection for rectal cancer. According to the Japanese classification of colorectal carcinoma (8th Edition), the tumor was tub1, ly0, v0, and pStage Ⅰ (pT1bN0M0), Cu...

[Trans-Arterial Chemoembolization Therapy for Refractory Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer with Spherical Embolic Material--A Single Case Report].

Gan to kagaku ryoho. Cancer & chemotherapy
Here, we report the use of trans-arterial chemoembolization for primary lung cancer. The patient was a 56-year-old woman with refractory Stage Ⅳ non-small cell lung cancer who had been treated with repeated systemic chemotherapy. The primary lesion i...

[Feasibility Study for Storage and Re-Utilization of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs)].

Rinsho byori. The Japanese journal of clinical pathology
BACKGROUND: In this era of precision medicine, monitoring patients requires not only real time but also longitudinal sequence of samples at various time points. Based on this background, we focused on conditioned circumstances on fixation and storage...

SPEQTACLE: An automated generalized fuzzy C-means algorithm for tumor delineation in PET.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Accurate tumor delineation in positron emission tomography (PET) images is crucial in oncology. Although recent methods achieved good results, there is still room for improvement regarding tumors with complex shapes, low signal-to-noise rati...

Robotic-Assisted Thoracic Surgery for Early-Stage Lung Cancer: A Review.

AORN journal
This review evaluates the benefits and disadvantages associated with the use of robotic-assisted technology in performing lobectomies in patients with early-stage lung cancer. The author conducted a literature search of Ovid®, MEDLINE®, PubMed®, and ...

A method for volumetric imaging in radiotherapy using single x-ray projection.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: It is an intriguing problem to generate an instantaneous volumetric image based on the corresponding x-ray projection. The purpose of this study is to develop a new method to achieve this goal via a sparse learning approach.

Automatic learning-based beam angle selection for thoracic IMRT.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: The treatment of thoracic cancer using external beam radiation requires an optimal selection of the radiation beam directions to ensure effective coverage of the target volume and to avoid unnecessary treatment of normal healthy tissues. Int...

Comparison between target margins derived from 4DCT scans and real-time tumor motion tracking: insights from lung tumor patients treated with robotic radiosurgery.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: A unique capability of the CyberKnife system is dynamic target tracking. However, not all patients are eligible for this approach. Rather, their tumors are tracked statically using the vertebral column for alignment. When using static tracki...

Proposal of Local Automatic Weighing Attribute in CBIR.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Lung cancer is the most common malignant lesion and the principal cause of cancer-related death worldwide. This problem encourages researchers to build computer-aided solutions to help diagnose lung cancer. Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) system...
