INTRODUCTION: Catheter ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation yields sub-optimal success rates partly due to the considerable heterogeneity within the patient population. Identifying distinct patient phenotypes based on post-ablation prognosis co...
OBJECTIVE: The evaluation of the efficacy of immunotherapy is of great value for the clinical treatment of bladder cancer. Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), pathway analysis and multi-omics analysis have shown great potential in the field of cancer diagn...
PURPOSE: This study aims to accurately predict the effects of hormonal therapy on prostate cancer (PC) lesions by integrating multi-modality magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the clinical marker prostate-specific antigen (PSA). It addresses the li...
BACKGROUND: Major society guidelines recommend transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) as the standard of care for intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. However, predicting treatment response remains challenging.
OBJECTIVE: The prognostic significance of body composition phenotypes for survival in patients undergoing surgical intervention for spinal metastases has not yet been elucidated. This study aimed to elucidate the impact of body composition phenotypes...
