BACKGROUND: Accurate calculation of lung cancer dose using the Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm in CyberKnife (CK) is essential for precise planning. We aim to employ deep learning to directly predict the 3D dose distribution calculated by the MC algorithm...
BACKGROUND: Radiation-induced pneumonitis affects up to 33% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, with fatal pneumonitis occurring in 2% of patients. Pneumonitis risk is related to the dose and volume of lung irradiated. Clinical radiothera...
In this narrative review, we address the ongoing challenges of lung cancer (LC) screening using chest low-dose computerized tomography (LDCT) and explore the contributions of artificial intelligence (AI), in overcoming them. We focus on evaluating th...
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the bloodstream are important biomarkers for clinical prognosis of cancers. Current CTC identification methods are based on immuno-labeling, which depends on the differential expression of specific antigens between t...
There exist significant challenges for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) due to its poor prognosis and limited treatment options, particularly in the advanced stages. It is crucial to identify genetic biomarkers for improving outcome predictions and guidin...
Brain metastases (BMs) in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) are often associated with poor survival rates and quality of life, making the timely identification of high-risk patients for BMs in ES-SCLC crucial. Patients diagnosed with E...
BACKGROUND: To retrospectively assess the added value of an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm for detecting pulmonary nodules on ultra-low-dose computed tomography (ULDCT) performed at the emergency department (ED).

Lung cancer is one of the most common life-threatening worldwide cancers affecting both the male and the female populations. The appearance of nodules in the scan image is an early indication of the development of cancer cells in the lung. The Low Do...
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to develop and validate a prediction model for classification of pulmonary nodules based on preoperative CT imaging.
