BACKGROUND: Visceral pleural invasion (VPI), including PL1 (the tumor invades beyond the elastic layer) and PL2 (the tumor extends to the surface of the visceral pleura), plays a crucial role in staging Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). However, th...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of probability map threshold on pleural mesothelioma (PM) tumor delineations generated using a convolutional neural network (CNN). One hundred eighty-six CT scans from 48 PM patients were segmented...
PURPOSE: This study aimed to assess the efficiency of artificial intelligence (AI) in the detection of visceral pleural invasion (VPI) of lung cancer using high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) images, which is challenging for experts because of...
BACKGROUND: In malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), complex tumour morphology results in inconsistent radiological response assessment. Promising volumetric methods require automation to be practical. We developed a fully automated Convolutional Neu...
BACKGROUND: Current risk stratification for patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma based on disease stage and histology is inadequate. For some individuals with early-stage epithelioid tumours, a good prognosis by current guidelines can progres...

Sarcomatoid mesothelioma is an aggressive malignancy that can be challenging to distinguish from benign spindle cell mesothelial proliferations based on biopsy, and this distinction is crucial to patient treatment and prognosis. A novel deep learning...
OBJECTIVES: Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) has a poor prognosis. Most patients are treated with tube thoracostomy and sclerotherapy, although its success rate is around 64%. We have investigated intrapleural perfusion with hyperthermic chemotherapy...
BACKGROUND: Tumour markers are standard tools for the differential diagnosis of cancer. However, the occurrence of nonspecific symptoms and different malignancies involving the same cancer site may lead to a high proportion of misclassifications. Cla...
BACKGROUND: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare and aggressive malignancy with a dismal prognosis. We aimed to identify predictors of survival among male and female MPM patients in the United States.
