BACKGROUND: Small pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are a unique subset of pancreatic neoplasms. Chromogranin A (CgA) levels, mitotic rate, and histologic differentiation are often used to characterize PNET behavior. This study evaluates the i...
CONCLUSION: A prognostic model was obtained for LC. Several critical genes were unveiled. They could be potentially applied for LC recurrence prediction.
One of the prevailing applications of machine learning is the use of predictive modelling in clinical survival analysis. In this work, we present our view of the current situation of computer tools for survival analysis, stressing the need of transfe...

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly aggressive type of brain cancer with very low median survival. In order to predict the patient's prognosis, researchers have proposed rules to classify different glioma cancer cell subtypes. However, survival...
Gene expression profiling (GEP) had divided the diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) into molecular subgroups: germinal center B-cell like (GCB), activated B-cell like (ABC), and unclassified (UC) subtype. However, this classification with prognosti...

The Wnt inhibitor dickkopf-1 (DKK-1) has been shown to be closely correlated with tumor initiation and progression in various types of cancers. However, the serum level of DKK-1 in patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and its potential clinic...
BACKGROUND: To investigate the clinical significance of the perioperative CA19-9 change for predicting survival in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) patients treated with surgical resection.
BACKGROUND: Hypernetworks are based on topological simplicial complexes and generalize the concept of two-body relation to many-body relation. Furthermore, Hypernetworks provide a significant generalization of network theory, enabling the integration...
