BACKGROUND: TNM staging is the main reference standard for prognostic prediction of colorectal cancer (CRC), but the prognosis heterogeneity of patients with the same stage is still large. This study aimed to classify the tumor microenvironment of pa...
BACKGROUND/AIMS: The performance of machine learning (ML) in predicting the outcomes of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains uncertain. We aimed to develop risk scores using conventional methods and ML to categorize early-stage HCC pa...
OBJECTIVES: Accurate risk stratification of patients with stage II and III colorectal cancer (CRC) prior to treatment selection enables limited health resources to be efficiently allocated to patients who are likely to benefit from adjuvant chemother...
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to develop and test a prototype of a deep learning surgical guidance system [computer-assisted staging laparoscopy (CASL)] that can intraoperative identify peritoneal surface metastases on routine laparoscopy imag...
OBJECTIVE: To develop and evaluate a multidimensional comorbidity index (MCI) that identifies ovarian cancer patients at risk of early mortality more accurately than the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) for use in health services research.

Approximately 10% of submucosal invasive (T1) colorectal cancers demonstrate extraintestinal lymph node metastasis, necessitating surgical intervention with lymph node dissection. The ability to identify T1b (submucosal invasion depth ≥ 1000 µm) as a...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Efficiently detecting and characterizing metastatic bone lesions on staging CT is crucial for prostate cancer (PCa) care. However, it demands significant expert time and additional imaging such as PET/CT. We aimed to develop...
OBJECTIVES: To develop and assess a radiomics-based prediction model for distinguishing T2/T3 staging of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LHSCC) METHODS: A total of 118 patients with pathologically proven LHSCC were enrolled in t...
