BACKGROUND: Rapid and accurate segmentation of tumor regions from rectal cancer images can better understand the patientâs lesions and surrounding tissues, providing more effective auxiliary diagnostic information. However, cutting rectal tumors with...
OBJECTIVE: Artificial intelligence (AI) holds enormous potential for noninvasively identifying patients with rectal cancer who could achieve pathological complete response (pCR) following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT). We aimed to conduct a me...
PURPOSE: To explore the value of deep learning-based multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI) nomogram in predicting the Ki-67 expression in rectal cancer.
BACKGROUND: The treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) is moving towards total neoadjuvant therapy and potential organ preservation. Of particular interest are predictors of pathological complete response (pCR) that can guide personalized...
PURPOSE: Rectal tumor segmentation on post neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has great significance for tumor measurement, radiomics analysis, treatment planning, and operative strategy. In this study, we developed...
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 ...
BACKGROUND: Imaging is vital for assessing rectal cancer, with endoanal ultrasound (EAUS) being highly accurate in large tertiary medical centers. However, EAUS accuracy drops outside such settings, possibly due to varied examiner experience and fewe...
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...
