BACKGROUND: African American (AA) individuals are less likely to receive treatment and more likely to die from cancer compared with Caucasian (C) individuals. Recent advancements in surgery and radiation have improved outcomes in early stage non-smal...
AIM: To develop an algorithm, based on convolutional neural network (CNN), for the classification of lung cancer lesions as T1-T2 or T3-T4 on staging fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET)/CT images.

BACKGROUND: Oncotype DX(ODX) is a 21-gene breast cancer recurrence score(RS) assay that aids in decision-making for chemotherapy in early-stage hormone receptor-positive(HR+)breast cancer. We developed a prediction tool using machine learning for hig...
PURPOSE: To determine whether a multivariate machine learning-based model using computer-extracted features of pre-treatment dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) can predict pathologic complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant ...
OBJECTIVES: The preoperative prediction of the WHO grade of a meningioma is important for further treatment plans. This study aimed to assess whether texture analysis (TA) based on apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps could non-invasively classi...

Current tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging system cannot provide adequate information for prediction of prognosis and chemotherapeutic benefits. We constructed a classifier to predict prognosis and identify a subset of patients who can benefit from...
Advancements are constantly being made in oncology, improving prevention and treatment of cancers. To help reduce the impact and deadliness of cancers, they must be detected early. Additionally, there is a risk of cancers recurring after potentially ...
BACKGROUND: In exploring the time course of a disease to support or generate biological hypotheses, the shape of the hazard function provides relevant information. For long follow-ups the shape of hazard function may be complex, with the presence of ...

BACKGROUND: The essential issue of internal validity has not been adequately addressed in prediction models such as artificial neural network (ANN), support vector machine (SVM), Gaussian process regression (GPR), and multiple linear regression (MLR)...
