Article Abstract

Objectives: Parenchymal-sparing hepatectomy (PSH) is recommended in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). Based on the principle of PSH, to investigate the impact of anatomical resection (AR) and non-anatomic resection (NAR) on the outcome of CRLM and to evaluate the potential prognostic impact of three peritumoral imaging features.

Methods: Fifty-six patients who had abdominal gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before CRLM surgery were included in this retrospective research. Peritumoral early enhancement, peritumoral hypointensity on hepatobiliary phase (HBP), and biliary dilatation to the CRLM at MRI were evaluated. Survival estimates were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and multivariate analysis was conducted to identify independent predictors of liver recurrence-free survival (LRFS), recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS).

Results: NAR had a lower 3-year LRFS compared with AR (36.6% vs. 78.6%, p = 0.012). No significant differences were found in 3-year RFS (34.1% vs. 41.7%) and OS (61.7% vs. 81.3%) (p > 0.05). In NAR group, peritumoral early enhancement was associated with poor LRFS (p = < 0.001, hazard ratio [HR] = 6.260; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.322,16.876]) and poor RFS (p = 0.035, HR =2.516; 95% CI, 1.069,5.919). No independent predictors of CRLM were identified in the AR group.

Conclusions: In patients with CRLM, peritumoral early enhancement was a predictor of LRFS and RFS after NAR according to the principle of PSH.

Purpose: Locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) exhibits significant heterogeneity in response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), with poor responders facing delayed treatment and unnecessary toxicity. Although MRI provides spatial pathophysiological information and proteomics reveals molecular mechanisms, current single-modal approaches cannot integrate these complementary perspectives, resulting in limited predictive accuracy and biological insight.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study developed a multimodal deep learning framework using a cohort of 274 LARC patients treated with NAC (2012-2021).

To evaluate the value of a multiparametric MRI-based nomogram on predicting response to transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in virus-associated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients; METHODS: This study enrolled 235 and 51 patients from Center 1 and 2, respectively. All patients underwent baseline MRI scans before treatment. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression method was used to screen radiomics features from intra- and peri-tumor areas to establish the radiomics signatures (RS).

Background: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally. Early detection of high-risk patients for local or distant metastasis is challenging for better monitoring and treatment planning. Machine learning models have been proposed for diagnosis and prediction of metastasis risk.

(1) Background: Response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is a key prognostic indicator in breast cancer. However, current response evaluation methods rely on histopathological assessment after surgery, delaying opportunities for early treatment adaptation. This study aimed to develop a machine learning model by integrating radiomic features extracted from pre-treatment, contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) images with baseline clinical variables to predict NAC response before therapy initiation.
