When doctors use contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) images to predict the metastasis of axillary lymph nodes (ALN) for breast cancer patients, the prediction performance could be degraded by subjective factors such as experience, psychologi...

AIM: Sentinel lymph node status is a central prognostic factor for melanomas. However, the surgical excision involves some risks for affected patients. In this study, we therefore aimed to develop a digital biomarker that can predict lymph node metas...
BACKGROUND: Accurate assessment of the axillary lymph nodes (aLNs) in breast cancer patients is essential for prognosis and treatment planning. Current radiological staging of nodal metastasis has poor accuracy. This study aimed to investigate the ma...
Whole slide histopathology images (WSIs) play a crucial role in diagnosing lymph node metastasis of breast cancer, which usually lack fine-grade annotations of tumor regions and have large resolutions (typically 10 × 10pixels). Multi-instance learnin...

Lymph node metastasis (LNM) identification is the most clinically important tasks related to survival and recurrence from lung cancer. However, the preoperative prediction of nodal metastasis remains a challenge to determine surgical plans and pretre...
BACKGROUND: The presence of nodal metastases is important in the treatment of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). We present our experience using a convolutional neural network (CNN) to predict the presence of nodal metastases in a series of PTC patie...
OBJECTIVE: To develop a new digital biomarker based on the analysis of primary tumour tissue by a convolutional neural network (CNN) to predict lymph node metastasis (LNM) in a cohort matched for already established risk factors.
