Malignant melanoma is an aggressive skin cancer in which brain metastases are common. Our aim was to establish and evaluate a deep learning model for fully automated detection segmentation of patients with malignant using clinical routine MR imaging.Sixty-nine total 135 at initial diagnosis available multiparametric imaging datasets (T1-/T2-weighted, T1-weighted gadolinium contrast-enhanced, FLAIR) were included. A previously established architecture (3D convolutional neural network;...
The intrinsic autofluorescence of biological tissues interferes with the detection fluorophores administered for fluorescence guidance, an emerging auxiliary technique in oncological surgery. Yet, human brain and its neoplasia is sparsely examined. This study aims to assess on a microscopic level by stimulated Raman histology (SRH) combined two-photon fluorescence.With this experimentally established label-free microscopy unprocessed tissue can be imaged analyzed within minutes process...
Abstract Background The BRAF V600E mutation is present in approximately 50% of patients with melanoma brain metastases and an important prerequisite for response to targeted therapies, particularly inhibitors. As heterogeneity terms status may occur patients, a wild-type extracranial primary tumor does not necessarily rule out targetable using We evaluated the potential MRI radiomics noninvasive prediction intracranial status. Methods Fifty-nine from two university centers (group 1, 45...
While immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in combination with radiotherapy (RT) are widely used for patients brain metastasis (BM), markers that predict treatment response combined RT and ICI (RT-ICI) their optimal dosing sequence the best immunogenic effects still under investigation. The aim of this study was to evaluate prognostic factors therapeutic outcome compare concurrent non-concurrent RT-ICI. We retrospectively analyzed data 93 319 BMs different cancer types who received PD-1 at...
The expression level of the programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) appears to be a predictor for response immunotherapy using checkpoint inhibitors in patients with non-small lung cancer (NSCLC). As differences terms PD-L1 levels extracranial primary tumor and brain metastases may occur, reliable method non-invasive assessment intracranial is, therefore clinical value. Here, we evaluated potential radiomics prediction secondary NSCLC.Fifty-three NSCLC from two academic neuro-oncological...
Recent artificial intelligence algorithms aided intraoperative decision-making via stimulated Raman histology (SRH) during craniotomy. This study assesses deep learning for rapid diagnosis from SRH images in small stereotactic-guided brain biopsies. It defines a minimum tissue sample size threshold to ensure diagnostic accuracy.
<title>Abstract</title> Neuroimaging is a ubiquitous tool for evaluating patients with neurological diseases. The global demand magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies has risen steadily, placing significant strain on health systems, prolonging turnaround times, and intensifying physician burnout. These challenges disproportionately impact in low-resource rural settings. Here, we utilized large academic system as data engine to develop Prima, the first vision-language model (VLM) serving an...
2010 Background: Glioblastoma is a universally fatal diagnosis with extent of resection being one the most significant predictors overall and progression-free survival. Most patients eventually experience recurrence, sixty percent recurring along cavity. Recent work leveraging Stimulated Raman histology (SRH) artificial intelligence (AI) has approximated glioma cellularity within infiltrative margins. It remains unknown if these estimates burden at margins influence glioblastoma recurrence....
Abstract Background Treatment decision for recurrent symptomatic brain metastases (BM) is challenging with scarce data regarding surgical resection. We therefore evaluated the efficacy of surgery pretreated, BM in a comprehensive multidisciplinary treatment setting. Methods In retrospective single center study, patients were analyzed, who underwent resection between 2007 and 2019. Intracranial event-free survival (EFS) overall (OS) by Kaplan-Maier Cox regression analysis. Results included...
Accurate intraoperative diagnosis is crucial for differentiating between primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL) and other entities, guiding surgical decision-making, but represents significant challenges due to overlapping histomorphological features, time constraints, differing treatment strategies. We combined stimulated Raman histology (SRH) with deep learning address this challenge. imaged unprocessed, label-free tissue samples intraoperatively using a portable scattering microscope, generating...

Current guidelines primarily suggest resection of brain metastases (BMs) in patients with limited lesions. With a growing number highly effective local and systemic treatment options, this view may be challenged. The purpose study was to evaluate the role metastasectomy, disregarding BM count, comprehensive setting.In monocentric retrospective analysis, authors included who underwent for at least 1 collected demographic, clinical, tumor-associated parameters. Prognostic factors control...
We set out to determine the rate, time-trend, and defining factors associated with publication of abstracts presented at two annual scientific meetings Canadian Association Radiation Oncology (caro).All accepted for oral presentation in 2007 2010 were obtained from caro program archives searched using PubMed database. Variables dataset included year a journal, time (in months), publishing impact factor abstract research type (clinical, technical, or basic science) disease site, country...

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to changes in global health care. Medical societies had update guidelines and enhance new services such as video consultations. Cancer treatment be modified. aim of this study is ensure optimal care for cancer patients with the help high-quality training even times crisis. We therefore conducted a nationwide survey physicians oncological disciplines during assess impact on their education.
OBJECTIVE The treatment of symptomatic, progressive or recurrent acquired intracerebral cysts is challenging, especially when they are localized in eloquent structures. In addition to resection, endoscopic fenestration, stereotactic puncture, the implantation a cystoventricular shunt by guidance (SCVS) has been reported as minimally invasive procedure; however, only scarce data available regarding its feasibility and efficacy.
