OBJECTIVES: Deep learning algorithms have shown potential in streamlining difficult clinical decisions. In the present study, we report the diagnostic profile of a deep learning model in differentiating malignant and benign lymph nodes in patients wi...
BACKGROUND: Robotic surgical systems enable surgeons to perform precise movement in the surgical field using high-resolution 3D vision and flexible robotic instruments. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of performing axillary lymph node...
BACKGROUND: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) can downstage tumors and axillary lymph nodes in breast cancer (BC) patients. However, tumors and axillary response to NAC are not parallel and vary among patients. This study aims to explore the feasibility...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Accurate identification of axillary lymph node (ALN) status in breast cancer patients is important for determining treatment options and avoiding axillary overtreatments. Our study aims to comprehensively compare the perform...
BACKGROUND: Machine learning was a highly effective tool in model construction. We aim to establish a machine learning-based predictive model for predicting the cervical lymph node metastasis (LNM) in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC).
