PURPOSE: Accurate preoperative assessment of regional lymphatic metastases (LNM) is essential for effective surgical selection of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aimed to develop a machine learning (ML) model that integrates radiomi...
BACKGROUND: Detection of axillary lymph node (LN) involvement is essential for staging breast cancer and optimizing treatment. This proof-of-concept two-center study explored the feasibility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics-based machine...
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to explore the impact of different ROI delineation strategies on the axillary lymph nodes metastasis (ALNM) prediction model by analyzing two-dimensional ultrasound images of lymph nodes. In addition, we integrated clinical...
Accurate detection, localization, and staging of breast cancer lymph node metastases are critical for guiding treatment decisions and predicting patient outcomes. This study presents a selective neighborhood attention-based deep learning framework th...
The role of axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in breast cancer patients with sentinel lymph node (SLN) micrometastases, particularly after neoadjuvant therapy, remains debated. The present study aimed to assess whether adding ALND provides a surv...
PURPOSE: To propose a multi-parametric ultrasound imaging-based deep learning method for accurately classifying metastatic and non-metastatic axillary lymph nodes in breast cancer patients.

BACKGROUND Perineural invasion (PNI) is strongly associated with poor clinical outcomes in colorectal cancer (CRC). However, no machine learning diagnostic model based on pathomics has been established for PNI detection in CRC. To address this issue,...
The clinical necessity of lymph node dissection in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) surgery remains contentious. This study compared four logistic regression (LR) models (with distinct feature selection strategies) and four machine learning (ML) mod...
BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Accurate staging of mediastinal lymph nodes is a crucial step in determining appropriate treatment approaches. Current noninvasive diagnostic methods do not provide suf...
