STUDY OBJECTIVE: Compare survival of patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) undergoing interval debulking surgery (IDS) with either robot-assisted (R-IDS) or open (O-IDS) approach. Second, we assessed the impact of adjuvant and neoadj...
BACKGROUND: To use clinical and MRI radiomic features coupled with machine learning to assess HER2 expression level and predict pathologic response (pCR) in HER2 overexpressing breast cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).

BACKGROUND: Deep learning is promising to predict treatment response. We aimed to evaluate and validate the predictive performance of the CT-based model using deep learning features for predicting pathologic complete response to neoadjuvant chemoradi...
PURPOSE: To apply our convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm to predict neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) response using the I-SPY TRIAL breast MRI dataset.
For patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), achieving a pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) provides them with the optimal prognosis. However, no reliable prediction model is presently available...
Response to Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has demonstrated a high correlation to survival in locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) patients. An early prediction of responsiveness to NAC could facilitate treatment adjustments on an individual patient...

PURPOSE: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) aims to minimize the tumor size before surgery. Predicting response to NAC could reduce toxicity and delays to effective intervention. Computational analysis of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imag...
BACKGROUND: For breast cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), pathologic complete response (pCR; no invasive or in situ) cannot be assessed non-invasively so all patients undergo surgery. The aim of our study was to develop and va...
