The ability to predict survival in cancer is clinically important because the finding can help patients and physicians make optimal treatment decisions. Artificial intelligence in the context of deep learning has been increasingly realized by the inf...
PURPOSE: Manual clinical target volume (CTV) and gross tumor volume (GTV) delineation for rectal cancer neoadjuvant radiotherapy is pivotal but labor-intensive. This study aims to propose a deep learning (DL)-based workflow towards fully automated cl...
INTRODUCTION: At our institute, we usually perform robot-assisted surgery for rectal cancer as minimally invasive surgery. It is necessary to recognize the tumor edge accurately when deciding where to place the distal cutting line of the rectum. In t...
Colorectal cancer is a global public health problem with one of the highest death rates. It is the second most deadly type of cancer and the third most frequently diagnosed in the world. The present study focused on metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC...

INTRODUCTION: Complex oncological procedures pose various surgical challenges including dissection in distinct tissue planes and preservation of vulnerable anatomical structures throughout different surgical phases. In rectal surgery, violation of di...
OBJECTIVES: Minimally invasive total mesorectal excision is increasingly being used as an alternative to open surgery in the treatment of patients with rectal cancer. This systematic review aimed to compare the total, operative and hospitalization co...
