BACKGROUND: The main metastatic route for lung cancer is lymph node metastasis, and studies have shown that non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has a high risk of lymph node infiltration.
OBJECTIVE: The accurate diagnosis of superficial lymphadenopathy is challenging. We aim to explore a non-invasive and accurate machine-learning method for distinguishing benign lymph nodes, lymphoma, and metastatic lymph nodes.
BACKGROUND: Pelvic lymph node dissection is a procedure performed in gastroenterological surgery, urology, and gynecology. However, due to discrepancies in the understanding of pelvic anatomy among these departments, cross-disciplinary discussions ha...

Para-aortic lymphadenectomy in gastric cancer surgery is a highly difficult surgical technique. In our hospital, we introduced robotic surgery in anticipation of the minimal invasiveness and advanced operability. We use a tunneling approach that prog...
Sentinel lymph node metastasis (SLNM) is a crucial predictor for breast cancer treatment and survival. This study was designed to propose deep learning (DL) models based on grayscale ultrasound, color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI), and elastography ima...
