BACKGROUND: Lymphovascular invasion (LVI) is linked to poor prognosis in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Accurately identifying the LVI status in MIBC patients is crucial for effective risk stratification and precision treatment....
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the capability of an ultrasound (US)-based deep learning (DL) nomogram for predicting axillary lymph node (ALN) status after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in breast cancer patients and ...

PURPOSE: In the current clinical diagnostic process, the gold standard for lymph node metastasis (LNM) diagnosis is histopathological examination following surgical lymphadenectomy. Developing a non-invasive and preoperative method for predicting LNM...

BACKGROUND: Signet ring cell (SRC) gastric carcinoma is traditionally associated with a poor prognosis. However, the literature has presented contradictory results. Linear models are the standard statistical tools typically used to study these condit...
Lymph-node status is important in decision-making during early gastric cancer (EGC) treatment. Currently, endoscopic submucosal dissection is the mainstream treatment for EGC. However, it is challenging for even experienced endoscopists to accurately...
BACKGROUND: Lymph node metastasis (LNM) plays a crucial role in the management of lung cancer; however, the ability of chest computed tomography (CT) imaging to detect LNM status is limited.
In this study, a model for predicting lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid cancer was trained using pathology images from the TCGA(The Cancer Genome Atlas) public dataset of papillary thyroid cancer, and a front-end inference model was trained ...
Prophylactic dissection of paratracheal lymph nodes in clinically lymph node-negative (cN0) papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) remains controversial. This study aims to integrate preoperative and intraoperative variables to compare traditional nomogra...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Accurate stratification of the risk of lymph node metastasis (LNM) following endoscopic resection of submucosal invasive (T1) colorectal cancer (CRC) is imperative for determining the necessity for additional surgery. In this syst...
BACKGROUND: The optimal number of lymph nodes to be dissected during lung cancer surgery to minimise the postoperative recurrence risk remains undetermined. This study aimed to elucidate the impact of the number of dissected lymph nodes on the risk o...
