This study utilized data from 140,294 prostate cancer cases from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Here, 10 different machine learning algorithms were applied to develop treatment options for predicting patients with pr...
The identification of miRNA-disease associations is crucial for early disease prevention and treatment. However, it is still a computational challenge to accurately predict such associations due to improper information encoding. Previous methods char...
BACKGROUND: Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a subset of cells within tumors that possess the unique ability to self-renew and give rise to diverse tumor cells. These cells are crucial in driving tumor metastasis, recurrence, and resistance to treatment....
OBJECTIVE: A deep neural network (DNN) was trained to generate a multiparametric ultrasound (mpUS) volume from four input ultrasound-based modalities (acoustic radiation force impulse [ARFI] imaging, shear wave elasticity imaging [SWEI], quantitative...
A robotic needle implant device for MR-guided high-dose-rate (HDR) prostate brachytherapy was developed. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and spatial accuracy of HDR brachytherapy using the robotic device, for a single intraprostatic target...
OBJECTIVE: To construct and externally validate machine learning-based nomograms for predicting progression stages of initial prostate cancer (PCa) using biomarkers and clinicopathologic features.
OBJECTIVES: This study investigated patients' acceptance of artificial intelligence (AI) for diagnosing prostate cancer (PCa) on MRI scans and the factors influencing their trust in AI diagnoses.
Urinary toxicities are one of the serious complications of radiotherapy for prostate cancer, and dose-volume histogram of prostatic urethra has been associated with such toxicities in previous reports. Previous research has focused on estimating the ...
