IntroductionThe study aims to evaluate the performance of an interpretable machine learning model in predicting preoperative axillary lymph node metastasis using primary breast cancer and lymph node features derived from contrast-enhanced mammography...
Lymph node status is a critical prognostic predictor for patients; however, the prognosis of colorectal signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) has garnered limited attention. This study investigates the prognostic predictive capacity of the log odds of po...

BACKGROUND: The appropriate ligation level of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) in left-sided colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery is debated, with metastasis in No. 253 lymph node (No. 253 LN) being a key determining factor. This study aimed to develo...
BACKGROUND: Invasive micropapillary carcinoma (IMPC) is a rare subtype of breast cancer characterized by a high risk of lymph node metastasis (LNM). The study aimed to identify predictors of LNM and to develop a machine learning (ML)-based risk predi...
The presence of axillary lymph node metastasis (ALNM) in breast cancer patients is an important factor in deciding whether to have axillary surgery or pursue alternative treatments. Based on axillary ultrasound (US) and histopathologic data, three gr...
BACKGROUND: The prognosis of gastric cancer (GC) patients is poor, and an accurate prognostic staging system would help assess patients' prognostic status before treatment and determine appropriate treatment strategies.
BACKGROUND: Accurate preoperative assessment of axillary lymph node metastasis (ALNM) in breast cancer is crucial for guiding treatment decisions. This study aimed to develop a deep-learning radiomics model for assessing ALNM and to evaluate its impa...
BACKGROUND: The early prediction of lymph node positivity (LN+) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is crucial for optimizing individualized treatment strategies. This study aimed to integrate radiomic features and clinical biomarkers through machin...
IMPORTANCE: Primary tumor (PT) and metastatic cervical lymph node (LN) characteristics are highly associated with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) prognosis. Currently, there is a lack of studies to combine imaging characteristics of bot...
