BACKGROUND: Breast ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) represent approximately 20% of screen-detected breast cancers. The overall risk for DCIS patients treated with breast-conserving surgery stems almost exclusively from local recurrence. Although a mas...
OBJECTIVE: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has been increasingly applied for malignant meningiomas as an alternative to conventionally fractioned radiation therapy. We performed a retrospective analysis of an institutional patient cohort with maligna...

Survival analyses of populations and the establishment of prognoses for individual patients are important activities in the practice of medicine. Standard survival models, such as the Cox proportional hazards model, require extensive feature engineer...
BACKGROUND: We designed a deep learning model for assessing F-FDG PET/CT for early prediction of local and distant failures for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer.
OBJECTIVE: To predict the local recurrence of giant cell bone tumors (GCTB) on MR features and the clinical characteristics after curettage using a deep convolutional neural network (CNN).
