OBJECT: Pathologic prediction of prostate cancer can be made by predicting the patient's prostate metastasis prior to surgery based on biopsy information. Because biopsy variables associated with pathology have uncertainty regarding individual patien...

BACKGROUND: Accurate segmentation of brain tumour in magnetic resonance images (MRI) is a difficult task due to various tumour types. Using information and features from multimodal MRI including structural MRI and isotropic (p) and anisotropic (q) co...
BACKGROUND: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has the lymphotropic feature that is supposed to be the reason of related extrahepatic manifestation. HCV viral oncoproteins may participate in the regulation of some gene expression that has been implicated in tum...
OBJECTIVES: To determine the risk of endometrial cancer (EC) and lymph node involvement in patients with a preoperative diagnosis of "AH-only" versus "AH - cannot rule out carcinoma" and to study the value of SLN mapping.

BACKGROUND: Ga-labelled prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) ligand PET/CT is a promising modality in primary staging (PS) and biochemical relapse (BCR) of prostate cancer (PC). However, pelvic nodes or local recurrences can be difficult to diff...
BACKGROUND: Little is known about the preoperative predictive factors that could identify subsets of favorable patients who can be possibly cured with robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) alone in locally advanced prostate cancer (LAPCa). Our ...

Isocitrate dehydrogenase () mutations in glioma patients confer longer survival and may guide treatment decision making. We aimed to predict the status of gliomas from MR imaging by applying a residual convolutional neural network to preoperative r...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: This study explored the association between a single-nucleotide polymorphism of prostate stem cell antigen and prostate cancer in Chinese patients undergoing prostate biopsy.
PURPOSE: To assess the performance of Support Vector Machines (SVM) classification to stratify the Gleason Score (GS) of prostate cancer (PCa) in the central gland (CG) based on image features across multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI)...
