Tumor size and stage assessment accuracy of MRI and ultrasound versus pathological measurements in early breast cancer patients
Oncology Imaging 4 min.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide [1]. Accurate preoperative estimation of the tumor size is instrumental in tumor stage estimation, planning the treatment, and ensuring negative resection margins [2, 3]. In particular, in patients scheduled to undergo neoadjuvant chemotherapy,...
Identification of testicular cancer with T2-weighted MRI-based radiomics and automatic machine learning
Oncology Imaging 4 min.
Testicular tumors are relatively uncommon in humans, constituting approximately 1% of all male malignancies [1]. Despite its relatively low overall incidence, testicular cancer is the most common solid tumor in men aged 20 to 34 years [2]. Due to the potential for tumor metastasis and infiltration, biopsy...
Predicting anastomotic leak in patients with esophageal squamous cell cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy using a nomogram based on CT radiomic and clinicopathologic factors
Oncology Imaging 4 min.
Esophageal cancer is a common malignancy of the digestive tract. According to the current global cancer statistics, it has the seventh and sixth highest incidence and mortality rates, respectively [1]. Based on the CROSS and NEOCRTEC5010 studies, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) and radical esophagectomy...
Development and evaluation of a deep learning framework for pelvic and sacral tumor segmentation from multi-sequence MRI: a retrospective study
Oncology Imaging 6 min.
Pelvic and sacral tumors (PSTs) are rare and complex, posing significant challenges for diagnosis and treatment due to their anatomical location and diverse tissue characteristics [1, 2]. These tumors, whether primary or secondary, typically present as large soft tissue masses that can invade surrounding...
A systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of PSMA PET/CT in the initial staging of prostate cancer
Oncology Imaging 6 min.
Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography using Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA PET/CT) has emerged as a promising novel imaging modality in the management of prostate cancer (PCa) patients. PSMA PET/CT has been primarily applied in detecting PCa recurrence after primary treatment, and...
