BACKGROUND: Thoracic SMARCA4-deficient undifferentiated tumors (SMARCA4-UT) exhibit a notably aggressive phenotype, which is associated with poor patient survival outcomes. These tumors are generally resistant to conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy, ...
INTRODUCTION: The lung cancer continues to be the primary cause of cancer-related deaths, despite significant advancements in treatment through the introduction of immunological checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). These inhibitors, initially used as monothe...

PURPOSE: Cardiac substructure dose metrics are more strongly linked to late cardiac morbidities than to whole-heart metrics. Magnetic resonance (MR)-guided radiation therapy (MRgRT) enables substructure visualization during daily localization, allowi...
BACKGROUND: In this matched-cohort study, we investigated the short-term outcome of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) compared with conventional minimally invasive thoracoscopic esophagectomy (MIE) in esophageal cancer patients.
BACKGROUND: Chest x-rays are widely used in clinical practice; however, interpretation can be hindered by human error and a lack of experienced thoracic radiologists. Deep learning has the potential to improve the accuracy of chest x-ray interpretati...

The purpose of this study was to perform quantitative and qualitative evaluation of a deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) algorithm in contrast-enhanced oncologic CT of the abdomen. Retrospective review (April-May 2019) of the cases of adults...
BACKGROUND: As the number of PET/CT scanners increases and FDG PET/CT becomes a common imaging modality for oncology, the demands for automated detection systems on artificial intelligence (AI) to prevent human oversight and misdiagnosis are rapidly ...
Radiation therapy of thoracic and abdominal tumors requires incorporating the respiratory motion into treatments. To precisely account for the patient's respiratory motions and predict the respiratory signals, a generalized model for predictions of d...
