Vascular remodeling is common in human cancer and has potential as future biomarkers for prediction of disease progression and tumor immunity status. It can also affect metastatic sites, including the tumor-draining lymph nodes (TDLNs). Dilation of t...
BACKGROUND: When endoscopically resected specimens of early colorectal cancerĀ (CRC) show high-risk features, surgery should be performed based on current guidelines because of the high-risk of lymph node metastasis (LNM). The aim of this study was to...
The pathological identification of lymph node (LN) metastasis is demanding and tedious. Although convolutional neural networks (CNNs) possess considerable potential in improving the process, the ultrahigh-resolution of whole slide images hinders the ...
BACKGROUND: Lateral pelvic lymph node (LPLN) dissection is becoming increasingly important in the treatment of advanced low rectal cancer patients. However, the surgery has several disadvantages, including its technical complexity and high risk of ur...
Currently, the prognosis assessment of stage II colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a difficult clinical problem; therefore, more accurate prognostic predictors must be developed. In our study, we developed a prognostic prediction model for stage II CRC ...
Fluorescence imaging is increasingly being implemented in surgery. One of the drawbacks of its application is the need to switch back-and-forth between fluorescence- and white-light-imaging settings and not being able to dissect safely under fluoresc...
PURPOSE: To investigate the ability of deep learning (DL) using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for distinguishing between normal and metastatic axillary lymph nodes on ultrasound images by comparing the diagnostic performance of radiologists.
