PURPOSE: Semantic segmentation is a fundamental part of the surgical application of deep learning. Traditionally, segmentation in vision tasks has been performed using convolutional neural networks (CNNs), but the transformer architecture has recentl...
BACKGROUND: Robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is currently a first-line treatment option for men with localized prostate cancer (PCa), at least 10 years of life expectancy, and candidate for curative treatment. We performed a scoping revi...
PURPOSE: Prostate cancer (PCa) represents a highly heterogeneous disease that requires tools to assess oncologic risk and guide patient management and treatment planning. Current models are based on various clinical and pathologic parameters includin...
Our study illuminates the potential of deep learning in effectively inferring key prostate cancer genetic alterations from the tissue morphology depicted in routinely available histology slides, offering a cost-effective method that could revolutioni...
BACKGROUND/AIM: Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) has been widely adopted as the standard treatment for localized prostate cancer. RARP is safer and results in better oncological control than conventional open total prostatectomy. However, ...
OBJECTIVE: To illustrate how experts efficiently navigate a "slowing down moment" to obtain optimal surgical outcomes using the neurovascular bundle sparing during a robotic prostatectomy as a case study.
INTRODUCTION: To investigate the impact of prostatic shape observed on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on the difficulty of robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP).
BACKGROUND: In prostate cancer, histological cribriform patterns are categorized as Gleason pattern 4, and recent studies have indicated that their size and percentage are associated with the risk of biochemical recurrence (BCR). However, these studi...
