BACKGROUND: In oncology, the correct determination of nodal metastatic disease is essential for patient management, as patient treatment and prognosis are closely linked to the stage of the disease. The aim of the study was to develop a tool for auto...
Deep learning models based on medical images play an increasingly important role for cancer outcome prediction. The standard approach involves usage of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to automatically extract relevant features from the patient's...
PURPOSE: To establish and validate a regional lymph node (LN) metastasis prediction model of colorectal cancer (CRC) based on F-FDG PET/CT and radiomic features using machine-learning methods.
N-staging is a determining factor for prognostic assessment and decision-making for stage-based cancer therapeutic strategies. Visual inspection of whole-slides of intact lymph nodes is currently the main method used by pathologists to calculate the ...
This study analyzed the prognostic significance of clinico-pathologic factors, including the number of metastatic lymph nodes (LNs) and lymph node ratio (LNR), in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), and attempted to construct a disease r...
Deep-learning methods for computational pathology require either manual annotation of gigapixel whole-slide images (WSIs) or large datasets of WSIs with slide-level labels and typically suffer from poor domain adaptation and interpretability. Here we...

PURPOSE: Accurate lymph node (LN) malignancy classification is essential for treatment target identification in head and neck cancer (HNC) radiation therapy. Given the constraints imposed by relatively small sample sizes in real-world medical applica...
PURPOSE: Accurate clinical diagnosis of lymph node metastases is of paramount importance in the treatment of patients with abdominopelvic malignancy. This review assesses the diagnostic performance of deep learning algorithms and radiomics models for...

BACKGROUND: Traditional diagnosis methods for lymph node metastases are labor-intensive and time-consuming. As a result, diagnostic systems based on deep learning (DL) algorithms have become a hot topic. However, current research lacks testing with s...
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to develop and validate machine learning-based radiomics model for predicting axillary lymph-node (ALN) metastasis in invasive ductal breast cancer (IDC) using F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomog...
