Prostate cancer (PCa) requires improved diagnostic strategies beyond conventional imaging. This review aimed to evaluate the role of prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PSMA PET/CT) in diagnosing advan...
BACKGROUND: Biomarkers of angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis have been explored in cancer prognostic models; however, their potential role in assessing local tumor invasiveness remains poorly understood.
Radiation therapy remains a cornerstone in the treatment of cancer, with the delineation of Organs at Risk (OARs), tumors, and malignant lymph nodes playing a critical role in the planning process. However, the manual segmentation of these anatomical...
Lymph node status is a critical prognostic predictor for patients; however, the prognosis of colorectal signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) has garnered limited attention. This study investigates the prognostic predictive capacity of the log odds of po...

BACKGROUND: The appropriate ligation level of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) in left-sided colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery is debated, with metastasis in No. 253 lymph node (No. 253 LN) being a key determining factor. This study aimed to develo...
BACKGROUND: Invasive micropapillary carcinoma (IMPC) is a rare subtype of breast cancer characterized by a high risk of lymph node metastasis (LNM). The study aimed to identify predictors of LNM and to develop a machine learning (ML)-based risk predi...
The presence of axillary lymph node metastasis (ALNM) in breast cancer patients is an important factor in deciding whether to have axillary surgery or pursue alternative treatments. Based on axillary ultrasound (US) and histopathologic data, three gr...
BACKGROUND: Accurate preoperative assessment of axillary lymph node metastasis (ALNM) in breast cancer is crucial for guiding treatment decisions. This study aimed to develop a deep-learning radiomics model for assessing ALNM and to evaluate its impa...
BACKGROUND: The early prediction of lymph node positivity (LN+) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is crucial for optimizing individualized treatment strategies. This study aimed to integrate radiomic features and clinical biomarkers through machin...
IMPORTANCE: Primary tumor (PT) and metastatic cervical lymph node (LN) characteristics are highly associated with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) prognosis. Currently, there is a lack of studies to combine imaging characteristics of bot...
