BACKGROUND: Accurate preoperative evaluation of cT1N0M0 papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is essential for guiding appropriate treatment strategies. Although ultrasound is widely used for clinical staging, it has limitations in detecting lymph node m...
BACKGROUND: In the prognosis of breast cancer, the status of axillary lymph nodes (ALN) is critically important. While traditional axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) provides comprehensive information, it is associated with high risks. Sentinel ly...
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...

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...
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 (LN) metastasis is a prevalent cause of recurrence in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). However, accurately identifying metastatic LNs (LNs+) remains challenging. This prospective clinical study aims to test the effectiveness of our con...

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is a common endocrine malignancy with a generally favorable prognosis, but lymph node metastasis (LNM) complicates treatment and increases recurrence risk. Current preoperative methods like neck ultrasound often miss...
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...
