Application of a Neural Network Whole Transcriptome-Based Pan-Cancer Method for Diagnosis of Primary and Metastatic Cancers.

JAMA network open
IMPORTANCE: A molecular diagnostic method that incorporates information about the transcriptional status of all genes across multiple tissue types can strengthen confidence in cancer diagnosis.

Computational prediction of diagnosis and feature selection on mesothelioma patient health records.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Mesothelioma is a lung cancer that kills thousands of people worldwide annually, especially those with exposure to asbestos. Diagnosis of mesothelioma in patients often requires time-consuming imaging techniques and biopsies. Machine lear...

Pharmacokinetic evaluation of intrapleural perfusion with hyperthermic chemotherapy using cisplatin in patients with malignant pleural effusion.

Lung cancer (Amsterdam, Netherlands)
OBJECTIVES: Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) has a poor prognosis. Most patients are treated with tube thoracostomy and sclerotherapy, although its success rate is around 64%. We have investigated intrapleural perfusion with hyperthermic chemotherapy...

Differential diagnosis of pleural mesothelioma using Logic Learning Machine.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Tumour markers are standard tools for the differential diagnosis of cancer. However, the occurrence of nonspecific symptoms and different malignancies involving the same cancer site may lead to a high proportion of misclassifications. Cla...

Predictors of Survival among Male and Female Patients with Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma: A Random Survival Forest Analysis of Data from the 2000-2017 Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program.

Journal of registry management
BACKGROUND: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare and aggressive malignancy with a dismal prognosis. We aimed to identify predictors of survival among male and female MPM patients in the United States.

Predicting cancer using supervised machine learning: Mesothelioma.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: Pleural Mesothelioma (PM) is an unusual, belligerent tumor that rapidly develops into cancer in the pleura of the lungs. Pleural Mesothelioma is a common type of Mesothelioma that accounts for about 75% of all Mesothelioma diagnosed yearl...
