Non-invasive assessment of the risk of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is of great value for the treatment option selection. The purpose of this paper is to develop a transfer learning radiomics (TLR) mo...
BACKGROUND: Inguinal lymph node dissection (ILND) is an essential step in both treatment and staging of several malignancies including penile and vulvar cancers. Various open, video endoscopic, and robotic-assisted techniques have been utilized so fa...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In lung cancer, the determination of mediastinal lymph node (MLN) status as benign or malignant influence treatment planning and survival rate. Invasive pathological tests for the classification of MLNs into benign and malig...
OBJECTIVES: The evaluation of lymph node (LN) status by radiologists based on preoperative computed tomography (CT) lacks high precision for early lung cancer patients; erroneous evaluations result in inappropriate therapeutic plans and increase the ...
The current standard for evaluating axillary nodal burden in clinically node negative breast cancer is sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). However, the accuracy of SLNB to detect nodal stage N2-3 remains debatable. Nomograms can help the decision-mak...
Accurate identification of axillary lymph node (ALN) involvement in patients with early-stage breast cancer is important for determining appropriate axillary treatment options and therefore avoiding unnecessary axillary surgery and complications. Her...
PURPOSE: This study aimed to validate a deep learning model's diagnostic performance in using computed tomography (CT) to diagnose cervical lymph node metastasis (LNM) from thyroid cancer in a large clinical cohort and to evaluate the model's clinica...
