Survival analysis is a commonly used method in the medical field to analyze and predict the time of events. In medicine, this approach plays a key role in determining the course of treatment, developing new drugs, and improving hospital procedures. M...
BACKGROUND: Current risk stratification for patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma based on disease stage and histology is inadequate. For some individuals with early-stage epithelioid tumours, a good prognosis by current guidelines can progres...

Radiomics has shown remarkable potential for predicting the survival outcome for various types of cancers such as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, to date, there has been limited research using convolutional neural networks (CNN) wit...
Heterogeneous clinical manifestations and progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) affect patient health risk assessment, stratification, and management. Pulmonary function tests are used to diagnose and classify the severity of CO...
BACKGROUND: Radical cystectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection is the recommended treatment in non-metastatic muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). In randomised trials, robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) showed non-inferior short-term oncol...
Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease. To guide proper treatment decisions for each patient, robust prognostic biomarkers, which allow reliable prognosis prediction, are necessary. Gene feature selection based on microarray data is an approach to ...
For a patient affected by breast cancer, after tumor removal, it is necessary to decide which adjuvant therapy is able to prevent tumor relapse and formation of metastases. A prediction of the outcome of adjuvant therapy tailored for the patient is h...

The purpose of our study was to develop a radiomics model based on preoperative MRI and clinical information for predicting recurrence-free survival (RFS) in patients with advanced high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC). This retrospective stu...
An adequate imputation of missing data would significantly preserve the statistical power and avoid erroneous conclusions. In the era of big data, machine learning is a great tool to infer the missing values. The root means square error (RMSE) and th...
