Non-invasive prediction of axillary lymph node dissection exemption in breast cancer patients post-neoadjuvant therapy: A radiomics and deep learning analysis on longitudinal DCE-MRI data.

Breast (Edinburgh, Scotland)
PURPOSE: In breast cancer (BC) patients with clinical axillary lymph node metastasis (cN+) undergoing neoadjuvant therapy (NAT), precise axillary lymph node (ALN) assessment dictates therapeutic strategy. There is a critical demand for a precise meth...

Surgical step recognition in laparoscopic distal gastrectomy using artificial intelligence: a proof-of-concept study.

Langenbeck's archives of surgery
PURPOSE: Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) is a difficult procedure for early career surgeons. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based surgical step recognition is crucial for establishing context-aware computer-aided surgery systems. In this study, w...

Using machine learning to develop preoperative model for lymph node metastasis in patients with bladder urothelial carcinoma.

BMC cancer
BACKGROUND: Lymph node metastasis (LNM) is associated with worse prognosis in bladder urothelial carcinoma (BUC) patients. This study aimed to develop and validate machine learning (ML) models to preoperatively predict LNM in BUC patients treated wit...

Extended pelvic lymph node dissection in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy is an independent risk factor for major complications.

Journal of robotic surgery
The aim of this study is to evaluate the major postoperative complication rate after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and to identify related risk factors. A consecutive series of patients who underwent RARP between September 2016 and May ...

Dual-Region Computed Tomography Radiomics-Based Machine Learning Predicts Subcarinal Lymph Node Metastasis in Patients with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer.

Annals of surgical oncology
BACKGROUND: Noninvasively and accurately predicting subcarinal lymph node metastasis (SLNM) for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains challenging. This study was designed to develop and validate a tumor and subcarinal lymph nodes (...

Extended pelvic lymph node dissection during robotic prostatectomy: antegrade versus retrograde technique.

BMC urology
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) with extended lymphadenectomy (ePLND) is the gold standard for surgical treatment of prostate cancer (PCa). Recently, the en-bloc ePLND has been proposed but no studies reported on the standardi...

Da Vinci robot-assisted endoscopic full-thickness gastric resection with regional lymph node dissection using a 3D near-infrared video system: a single-center 5-year clinical outcome.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Endoscopic full-thickness gastric resection (EFTGR) with regional lymph node dissection (LND) has been used for early gastric cancer (EGC) exceeding the indications for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). The extent of the dissected l...

Robot-assisted transcervical esophagectomy with a bilateral cervical approach for thoracic esophagectomy.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Thoracic esophageal cancer resection through the neck approach has recently been reported as mediastinoscopic surgery. We present the first report of a new minimally invasive technique for thoracic esophageal cancer: robot-assisted transc...

Role of the artificial intelligence in the management of T1 colorectal cancer.

Digestive and liver disease : official journal of the Italian Society of Gastroenterology and the Italian Association for the Study of the Liver
Approximately 10% of submucosal invasive (T1) colorectal cancers demonstrate extraintestinal lymph node metastasis, necessitating surgical intervention with lymph node dissection. The ability to identify T1b (submucosal invasion depth ≥ 1000 µm) as a...
