The spread of early-stage (T1 and T2) adenocarcinomas to locoregional lymph nodes is a key event in disease progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). The cellular mechanisms behind this event are not completely understood and existing predictive biomar...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The preoperative lymph node (LN) status is important for the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). Here, we established and validated a deep learning (DPL) model for predicting lymph node metastasis (LNM) in CRC.

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to develop a predictive model for occult cervical lymph node metastasis in patients with tongue cancer using radiomics and machine learning from pretreatment contrast-enhanced computed tomography.
OBJECTIVE: Inguinal lymph node dissection (ILND) is an essential component in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of penile cancer. Recent advances in minimally invasive surgery may play an important role in decreasing the adverse effects and co...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: In patients with breast cancer (BC), lymphovascular invasion (LVI) status is considered an important prognostic factor. We aimed to develop machine learning (ML)-based radiomics models for the prediction of LVI status in pat...
BACKGROUND: Number of involved lymph nodes (LNs) is a crucial stratification factor in staging of numerous disease sites, but has not been incorporated for endometrial cancer. We evaluated whether number of involved LNs provide improved prognostic va...

Tumor metastases detection is of great importance for the treatment of breast cancer patients. Various CNN (convolutional neural network) based methods get excellent performance in object detection/segmentation. However, the detection of metastases i...
Esophagectomy is a high-risk operation, regardless of technique. Minimally invasive transthoracic esophagectomy could reduce length of stay and pulmonary complications compared to traditional open approaches, but the benefits of minimally invasive tr...
