INTRODUCTION: Artificial intelligence (AI) that surpasses human ability in image recognition is expected to be applied in the field of gastrointestinal endoscopes. Accordingly, its research and development (R &D) is being actively conducted. With the...
BACKGROUND: Hypopharyngeal and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) are the most common double primary tumors with poor prognosis. Intensive work has been made to illuminate the etiology, but the common carcinogenic mechanism remains unclear. Th...
Transoral excision of parapharyngeal space (PPS) tumors has increased in popularity along with the increased use of robotic and endoscopic surgical technology. Here, the authors highlight the indications, techniques, outcomes, and complications of tr...
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to develop an integrated segmentation-free deep learning (DL) framework to predict multiple aspects of radiotherapy outcome in pharyngeal cancer patients by analyzing pretreatment 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron...
The current study aimed to evaluate the application value of the domestic otolaryngology-specific flexible-arm robotic system in the resection of throat tumors. A 53-year-old male patient diagnosed with a left-sided throat tumor underwent tumor resec...
