Tumour budding has been described as an independent prognostic feature in several tumour types. We report for the first time the relationship between tumour budding and survival evaluated in patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer. A machine lea...
OBJECTIVES: To develop a U-Net-based deep learning approach (U-DL) for bladder segmentation in computed tomography urography (CTU) as a part of a computer-assisted bladder cancer detection and treatment response assessment pipeline.
Currently in patients with bladder cancer, various clinical evaluations (imaging, operative findings at transurethral resection and radical cystectomy, pathology) are collectively used to determine disease status and prognosis, and recommend neoadjuv...
