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

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.
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...
