Preoperative multiclass classification of thymic mass lesions based on radiomics and machine learning.

Cancer imaging : the official publication of the International Cancer Imaging Society
BACKGROUND: Apart from rare cases such as lymphomas, germ cell tumors, neuroendocrine neoplasms, and thymic hyperplasia, thymic mass lesions (TMLs) are typically categorized into cysts, and thymomas. However, the classification results cannot be dete...

Unveiling Thymoma Typing Through Hyperspectral Imaging and Deep Learning.

Journal of biophotonics
Thymoma, a rare tumor from thymic epithelial cells, presents diagnostic challenges because of the subjective nature of traditional methods, leading to high false-negative rates and long diagnosis times. This study introduces a thymoma classification ...

Predicting the risk category of thymoma with machine learning-based computed tomography radiomics signatures and their between-imaging phase differences.

Scientific reports
The aim of this study was to develop a medical imaging and comprehensive stacked learning-based method for predicting high- and low-risk thymoma. A total of 126 patients with thymomas and 5 patients with thymic carcinoma treated at our institution, i...

Deep learning for risk stratification of thymoma pathological subtypes based on preoperative CT images.

BMC cancer
OBJECTIVES: This study aims to develop an innovative, deep model for thymoma risk stratification using preoperative CT images. Current algorithms predominantly focus on radiomic features or 2D deep features and require manual tumor segmentation by ra...

Robotic portal resection for mediastinal tumours: a prospective observational study.

Journal of cardiothoracic surgery
BACKGROUND: To demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of robotic portal resection (RPR) for mediastinal tumour using a prospectively collected database.

Robot-assisted thymectomy in large anterior mediastinal tumors: A comparative study with video-assisted thymectomy and open surgery.

Thoracic cancer
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of robot-assisted thymectomy (RAT) in large anterior mediastinal tumors (AMTs) (size ≥6 cm) compared with video-assisted thymectomy (VAT) and open surgery.

Long-term outcomes of robot-assisted radical thymectomy for large thymomas: A propensity matched analysis.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term results of robot-assisted (RATS) thymectomy in the treatment of large thymomas, defined as larger than 5 cm.

The efficacy of F-FDG-PET-based radiomic and deep-learning features using a machine-learning approach to predict the pathological risk subtypes of thymic epithelial tumors.

The British journal of radiology
OBJECTIVE: To examine whether the machine-learning approach using 18-fludeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (F-FDG-PET)-based radiomic and deep-learning features is useful for predicting the pathological risk subtypes of thymic epithelial tumor...

Utilization of Minimally Invasive Thymectomy and Margin-Negative Resection for Early-Stage Thymoma.

The Annals of thoracic surgery
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive thymectomy (MIT) has demonstrated improved short-term outcomes compared with open thymectomy (OT). Although adoption of MIT for thymoma is increasing, oncologic outcomes have not been well characterized.

Unusual late presentation of metastatic extrathoracic thymoma to gastrohepatic lymph node treated by surgical resection.

General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery
In advanced stages, thymic tumors tend to spread locally. Distant metastatic disease is rare. We present the first report of single metastatic abdominal lymph node in a 37-year-old female patient and 5 years after an extrapleural pneumonectomy for st...
