In current clinical practice, tumor response assessment is usually based on tumor size change on serial computerized tomography (CT) scan images. However, evaluation of tumor response to anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapies in metastatic...
BACKGROUND: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare mesenchymal tumor that is primarily treated with surgery. Targeted therapy is a promising approach to help reduce the high rate of recurrence. This study aims to identify the potential targ...

PURPOSE: Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (Anti-VEGF) therapy is currently seen as the standard for treatment of neovascular AMD (nAMD). However, while treatments are highly effective, decisions for initial treatment and retreatment are often ...
OBJECTIVES: To assess the therapeutic response to brolucizumab and aflibercept by deep learning/OCT-based analysis of macular fluid volumes in neovascular age-related macular degeneration.
PURPOSE: To identify correlations between the vascular characteristics of macular neovascularization (MNV) obtained by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and distinct retinal fluid volumes in neovascular age-related macular degeneration ...
