RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To construct a deep learning model (DL) based on high-resolution T2-weighted images for preoperative differentiation between T2 and T3 stage rectal cancer (RC), and to compare its performance with experienced radiologists.
BACKGROUND: T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoires provide insights into tumor immunology, yet their variations across digestive system cancers are not well understood. Characterizing TCR differences between colorectal cancer (CRC) and gastric cancer (GC)...

Clinical staging of liver cancer (CSoLC), an important indicator for evaluating primary liver cancer (PLC), is key in the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of liver cancer. In China, the current CSoLC adopts the China liver cancer (CNLC) stagi...
BACKGROUND: Invasive lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) with the high-grade patterns (HGPs) has the potential for rapid metastasis and frequent recurrence. Therefore, accurately predicting the presence of high-grade components is crucial for doctors to devel...
PURPOSE: This study aims to investigate the impact of tumor quadrant location on the 5-year early-stage breast cancer survivability prediction using explainable machine learning (ML) models. By integrating these predictive models with Shapley Additiv...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Accurate recurrence risk evaluation in patients with stage II and III colorectal cancer (CRC) remains difficult. Traditional histopathological methods frequently fall short in predicting outcomes after adjuvant chemotherapy. T...
PURPOSE: Existing prognostic staging systems depend on expensive manual extraction by pathologists, potentially overlooking latent patterns critical for prognosis, or use black-box deep learning models, limiting clinical acceptance. This study introd...
BACKGROUND: To evaluate the clinical applicability of deep learning (DL) models based on automatic segmentation in preoperatively predicting tumor spread through air spaces (STAS) in peripheral stage I lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).
No studies have examined the prognostic value of the log odds of negative lymph nodes/T stage (LONT) in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT). We aimed to assess the prognostic value of LONT and devel...

BACKGROUND: Evidence is limited on whether patients with advanced pulmonary carcinoid (APC) benefit from comprehensive pulmonary resection (CPR), chemotherapy, or radiotherapy. Existing prognostic models for APC are limited and do not guide treatment...
