Cervical cancer is one of the most aggressive malignant tumours of the reproductive system, posing a significant global threat to women's health. Accurately segmenting cervical tumours in MR images remains a challenging task due to the complex charac...
To facilitate implementation of plan-of-the-day (POTD) selection for treating locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC), we developed a POTD assessment tool for CBCT-guided radiotherapy (RT). A female pelvis segmentation model (U-Seg3) is combined with...

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to determine the best dose processing method for deep learning-based dose prediction in brachytherapy (BT), as well as to investigate the feasibility of using the inverse dose optimization algorithm to improve tr...
The screening and monitoring of microRNAs as cancer molecular biomarkers is clinically significant, but traditional methods lack sufficient sensitivity, accuracy, and convenience. The CRISPR-colorimetric lateral flow assay (CLFA) integration offers a...

Cervical cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related death among women globally, despite the availability of effective prevention through human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination and HPV-based screening. This review explores the state-of-the-art t...
High-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy is integral to the standard-of-care for locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC). Currently, selection of brachytherapy applicators relies on physician's clinical experience, which can lead to variability in treatmen...

BACKGROUND: Cervical cancer screening programs are increasingly relying on sensitive molecular approaches as primary tests to detect high-risk human papillomaviruses (hrHPV), the causative agents of cervix cancer. Although hrHPV infection is a pre-re...
OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the relationship between vaginal radiation dose and radiation-induced vaginal injury in cervical cancer patients, with the aim of developing a risk prediction model to support personalized treatment strategies.
BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer has the highest mortality rate among gynecological cancers, making early detection crucial, as the five-year survival rate drops from 92% with early-stage diagnosis compared to 31% with late-stage diagnosis. Current diagnos...
