Tumor segmentation is one of the key steps in imaging processing. The goals this study were to assess inter-observer variability manual neuroblastic tumors and analyze whether state-of-the-art deep learning architecture nnU-Net can provide a robust solution detect segment on MR images. A retrospective multicenter 132 patients with was performed. Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) Area Under Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (AUC ROC) used compare sets. Two more metrics elaborated...
To externally validate and assess the accuracy of a previously trained fully automatic nnU-Net CNN algorithm to identify segment primary neuroblastoma tumors in MR images large children cohort.An international multicenter, multivendor imaging repository patients with neuroblastic was used performance Machine Learning (ML) tool delineate tumors. The dataset heterogeneous completely independent from one train tune model, consisting 300 having 535 T2-weighted sequences (486 at diagnosis 49...
Background To overcome knowledge gaps and optimize long-term follow-up (LTFU) care for childhood cancer survivors, the concept of Survivorship Passport (SurPass) has been invented. Within European PanCareSurPass project, semiautomated interoperable SurPass (version 2.0) will be optimized, implemented, evaluated at 6 LTFU centers representing countries 3 distinct health system scenarios: (1) national electronic information systems (EHISs) in Austria Lithuania, (2) regional or local EHISs...
Compared to the general population, childhood cancer survivors represent a vulnerable population as they are at increased risk of developing health problems, known late effects, resulting in excess morbidity and mortality. The Survivorship Passport aims capture key data about their treatment, well personalized recommendations care plan with aim support long-term survivorship care. PanCareSurPass (PCSP) project building on experience gained an earlier implementation Giannina Gaslini...
Large datasets in paediatric oncology are inherently rare. Therefore, it is paramount to fully exploit all available data, which distributed over several resources, including biomaterials, images, clinical trials, and registries. With privacy-preserving record linkage (PPRL), personalised or pseudonymised can be merged, without disclosing the patients’ identities. Although PPRL implemented various settings, use case descriptions currently fragmented incomplete. The present paper provides a...
Abstract Purpose To identify barriers and facilitators for implementing the Survivorship Passport (SurPass) v2.0 in six long-term follow-up (LTFU) care centres Europe. Methods Stakeholders including childhood cancer survivors (CCSs), healthcare providers (HCPs), managers, information technology (IT) specialists, others, participated online Open Space meetings. Topics related to Care, Ethical, Legal, Social, Economic, Information & IT-related aspects of SurPass were evaluated. Results The...
Childhood, adolescent and young adult (CAYA) cancer survivors require ongoing surveillance for health problems from the end of treatment throughout their lives. There is a lack evidence-based guidelines on optimal strategies period to 5 years after diagnosis. We aimed address this gap by developing recommendations short-term based existing long-term follow-up (LTFU) care guidelines. The guideline working group, consisting healthcare professionals, parents survivor representatives 10...
