Abstract Background We sought to evaluate the performance of a computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics nomogram we devised in distinguishing benign from malignant bone tumours. Methods Two hundred and six patients with tumours were spilt into two groups: training set ( n = 155) validation 51). A feature extraction process based on 3D Slicer software was used extract features unenhanced CT images, least absolute shrinkage selection operator logistic regression calculate radiomic score...

To construct and assess a deep learning (DL) signature that employs computed tomography imaging to predict the expression status of programmed cell death ligand 1 in patients with bladder cancer (BCa). This retrospective study included 190 from two hospitals who underwent surgical removal BCa (training set/external validation set, 127/63). We used convolutional neural network radiomics machine technology generate prediction models. then compared performance DL selected optimal build nomogram...

Most common ovarian cancers are epithelial carcinoma in which the etiology for carcinogenesis remains elusive. ANO1/TMEM16A, a member of Ca2+ -activated Cl- channels (CaCCs), has been demonstrated to promote epithelium-originated and whether it plays role pathogenesis cancer is unknown. In our study we found that ANO1 proteins were overexpressed human cells tissue samples. protein upregulation was correlated with clinical FIGO (International Federation Gynecology Obstetrics) staging poor...

Accurate stratification of recurrence risk for bladder cancer (BCa) is essential precise individualized therapy. This study aimed to develop and validate a model predicting the in BCa patients postoperatively using 3-phase enhanced CT images.We retrospectively enrolled 874 across four centers between January 2006 December 2021. Patients from one center were used as training set, while remaining went into validation set. We trained deep learning (DL) based on convolutional neural networks...

Abstract Background To construct and assess a computed tomography (CT)-based deep learning radiomics nomogram (DLRN) for predicting the pathological grade of bladder cancer (BCa) preoperatively. Methods We retrospectively enrolled 688 patients with BCa (469 in training cohort, 219 external test cohort) who underwent surgical resection. extracted handcrafted (HCR) features (DL) from three-phase CT images (including corticomedullary-phase [C-phase], nephrographic-phase [N-phase]...

Abstract Background Whether programmed cell death-1/ligand-1 (PD-1/PD-L1) blockade-based neoadjuvant treatment may benefit locally advanced oncogene-mutant non–small lung cancer (NSCLC) patients remains controversial. This retrospective study was designed to observe the efficacy and safety of PD-1/PD-L1 blockade plus chemotherapy versus corresponding tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in with resectable oncogene-positive NSCLC. Methods Patients potential NSCLC harbouring oncogene alterations...
