More Lung Cancer Screening Could Prevent Over 60,000 U.S. Deaths by 2030
(MedPage Today) — Increasing lung cancer screening uptake to 100% among eligible individuals could more than quadruple the number of lung cancer deaths prevented and life-years gained over a 5-year period, researchers found.
With 18.7% of eligible… -

Comment on “ Analysis of clinical and imaging characteristics of pseudocirrhosis in breast cancer liver metastasis”
The interesting paper by L. Deng et al. [1], which updates the diagnostic radiological imaging of neoplastic pseudocirrhosis (NPC) in breast cancer liver metastasis, merits further exploration from a pathophysiological perspective. This would help us to better understand this pathology, which often indicates an advanced stage of different neoplastic diseases. In order for a liver disease to be classified as an NPC, two criteria must be met: metastatic liver involvement and clinical signs that mi…

Automatic phantom-less QCT predicts hip fracture risk: Bone and muscle parameters comparison
Hip fractures are a severe consequence of osteoporosis, posing substantial health risks to older adults worldwide [1,2]. By 2050, the global number of hip fractures among older adults is projected to reach 4.5 million [3], with 20-24 % of patients dying within 1 year of hip fracture [2,4] and most survivors failing to regain pre-fracture functional levels [5].Therefore, early identification of individuals at high risk is essential for implementing preventive strategies.

mpMRI-based interpretable machine learning model for predicting castration-resistant prostate cancer risk
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer among men worldwide [1]. Due to the subtle nature of early symptoms, most patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage.Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) remains the cornerstone treatment for locally advanced and metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa) [2]. Although most patients eventually progress to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), the duration of CRPC progression varies between individuals [3,4]. Accurately predicting CRPC time befo…

Contrast-enhanced MRI–based multi-parameter habitats radiomics models to predict early recurrence in early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma following curative resection
Despite advancements in surgical resection, liver transplantation, locoregional therapy and the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors, outcomes for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain poor [1]. Hepatectomy is a radical and first-line therapeutic tool for achieving long-term survival in early-stage HCC patients [2]. However, up to 70 % of HCC patients experience subsequent recurrence within 5years after resection [3]. Early recurrence (within 2 years) accounts for approximately 7…

Development and validation of an interpretable machine learning model for predicting intraoperative HDI in PPGL based on intratumoral and peritumoral CT radiomic features
Intraoperative hemodynamic instability (HDI) might lead to severe complications for pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) patients. This study aims to construct a machine learning (ML) model to predict HDI based on intratumoral and peritumoral CT radiomics.
