RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: According to current guidelines, pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) with worrisome or high-risk features may have overtreatment. The purpose of this study was to build a clinical and radiological based machine-learning (ML) mo...
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a very lethal disease with a low survival rate, making timely and accurate diagnoses critical for successful treatment. PC classification in computed tomography (CT) scans is a vital task that aims to accurately discriminate...

OBJECTIVES: The goal of this study is to demonstrate the performance of radiomics and CNN-based classifiers in determining the primary origin of gastrointestinal liver metastases for visually indistinguishable lesions.
Pancreatic fine-needle aspirations are the gold-standard diagnostic procedure for the evaluation of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. A suspicion for malignancy can escalate towards chemotherapy followed by a major surgery and therefore is a high-sta...
BACKGROUND: Robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD) is an emerging alternative to open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD). Although RPD offers various theoretical advantages, it is used in less than 10% of all pancreaticoduodenectomies. The aim of this stud...
OBJECTIVES: Natural language processing (NLP) algorithms can interpret unstructured text for commonly used terms and phrases. Pancreatic pathologies are diverse and include benign and malignant entities with associated histologic features. Creating a...

BACKGROUND: Evidence on the value of minimally invasive pancreatic surgery (MIPS) has been increasing but it is unclear how this has influenced the view of pancreatic surgeons on MIPS.
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the prognostic value of CT-based markers of sarcopenia and myosteatosis in comparison to the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score for survival of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer treated with high-intensity ...
