Pancreatic gross tumor volume contouring on computed tomography (CT) compared with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): Results of an international contouring conference.

Practical radiation oncology
PURPOSE: Accurate identification of the gross tumor volume (GTV) in pancreatic adenocarcinoma is challenging. We sought to understand differences in GTV delineation using pancreatic computed tomography (CT) compared with magnetic resonance imaging (M...

Nano-biotinylated liposome-based immunoassay for the ultrasensitive detection of protein biomarker in urine.

Talanta
With the development of proteomics and the continuous discovery of biomarkers of trace proteins, it is important to accurately quantify low abundance protein, especially in urine for clinical diagnostics. In this paper, we reported a novel nano-bioti...

Neural network dose models for knowledge-based planning in pancreatic SBRT.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for pancreatic cancer requires a skillful approach to deliver ablative doses to the tumor while limiting dose to the highly sensitive duodenum, stomach, and small bowel. Here, we develop knowledge-b...

Computer-assisted cytologic diagnosis in pancreatic FNA: An application of neural networks to image analysis.

Cancer cytopathology
BACKGROUND: Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy is an accurate method for the diagnosis of solid pancreatic masses. However, a significant number of cases still pose a diagnostic challenge. The authors have attempted to design a computer model to aid...

An Evaluation of Artificial Neural Networks in Predicting Pancreatic Cancer Survival.

Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate the development of an artificial neural network (ANN) method for predicting the survival likelihood of pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients. The ANN predictive model should produce results with a 90% sensitivity.

Impact of chromogranin A, differentiation, and mitoses in nonfunctional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors ≤ 2 cm.

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: Small pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are a unique subset of pancreatic neoplasms. Chromogranin A (CgA) levels, mitotic rate, and histologic differentiation are often used to characterize PNET behavior. This study evaluates the i...

Analysis of Important Gene Ontology Terms and Biological Pathways Related to Pancreatic Cancer.

BioMed research international
Pancreatic cancer is a serious disease that results in more than thirty thousand deaths around the world per year. To design effective treatments, many investigators have devoted themselves to the study of biological processes and mechanisms underlyi...

Indications, technique, and results of robotic pancreatoduodenectomy.

Updates in surgery
Robotic assistance improves surgical dexterity in minimally invasive operations, especially when fine dissection and multiple sutures are required. As such, robotic assistance could be rewarding in the setting of robotic pancreatoduodenectomy (RPD). ...

Monitoring vascular normalization induced by antiangiogenic treatment with (18)F-fluoromisonidazole-PET.

Molecular oncology
BACKGROUND: Rationalization of antiangiogenics requires biomarkers. Vascular re-normalization is one widely accepted mechanism of action for this drug class. The interstitium of tumors with abnormal vasculature is hypoxic. We sought to track vascular...
