BACKGROUND: Laparoscopy offers some evidence of benefit compared to open rectal surgery. Robotic rectal surgery is evolving into an accepted approach. The objective was to analyze and compare laparoscopic and robotic rectal surgery learning curves wi...
This study explores the potential use of ChatGPT, an AI-based language model, in assessing herbal-drug interactions (HDi) to enhance clinical decision-making. HDi can pose significant health risks by reducing drug efficacy or causing unwanted side ef...
BACKGROUND: The diagnostic criteria for lateral lymph node metastasis in rectal cancer have not been established. This research aimed to investigate the risk factors for lateral lymph node metastasis and develop machine learning models combining thes...
INTRODUCTION: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the predictive value of circulating lymphocyte subsets and inflammatory indexes in response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) in patients with rectal mucinous adenocarcinomas (MACs).

Colorectal cancer is the most common malignant tumor of digestive tract, and the incidence of colorectal cancer in China is especially characterized by middle and low rectal cancer. In recent years, with the progress of computer science, artificial i...
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the performance of machine learning models in predicting pathological complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) in patients with rectal cancer using magnetic resonance imaging.
Undergoing another surgery after a previous abdominal procedure can sometimes result in significant abdominal adhesions. We present a case of robot-assisted low anterior resection in a patient with rectal cancer who had a urinary reservoir. A 65-year...
A 52-year-old, Japanese man presented to the hospital with a complaint of anal bleeding, and detailed examination resulted in a diagnosis of locally advanced rectal cancer. The patient underwent total neoadjuvant therapy followed by short-course radi...
Purpose To develop a Weakly supervISed model DevelOpment fraMework (WISDOM) model to construct a lymph node (LN) diagnosis model for patients with rectal cancer (RC) that uses preoperative MRI data coupled with postoperative patient-level pathologic ...
