Identifying important biomarkers that are predictive for cancer patients' prognosis is key in gaining better insights into the biological influences on the disease and has become a critical component of precision medicine. The emergence of…
Tumours develop in an evolutionary process, in which the accumulation of mutations produces subpopulations of cells with distinct mutational profiles, called clones. This process leads to the genetic heterogeneity widely observed in tumour…
We propose small-variance asymptotic approximations for the inference of tumor heterogeneity (TH) using next-generation sequencing data. Understanding TH is an important and open research problem in biology. The lack of appropriate…
Deep learning is expected to aid pathologists by automating tasks such as tumour segmentation. We aimed to develop one universal tumour segmentation model for histopathological images and examine its performance in different cancer types.…
Background: Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) are detected as different distributions of DNA samples of distinct types of cancer patients. Even though, it is an exacting task to select the appropriate method to identify cancer to the…
Noninvasive MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) treatments are promising alternatives to the surgical removal of malignant tumors. A significant challenge is assessing the viability of treated tissue during and immediately after MRgFUS…
Accurately predicting early recurrence in brain tumor patients following surgical resection remains a clinical challenge. This study proposes a multi-modal machine learning framework that integrates structural MRI features with clinical…
Detection of tumors in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) plays an essential role in the early diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer. Deep learning models backboned by fully convolutional neural networks (FCNNs) have become the dominant…
Breast cancer is one of the most major causes of death among women, after lung cancer. Breast cancer detection advancements can increase the survival rate of patients through earlier detection. Breast cancer that can be detected by using…
An important part of breast cancer staging is the assessment of the sentinel axillary node for early signs of tumor spreading. However, this assessment by pathologists is not always easy and retrospective surveys often requalify the status…
Determining the primary site of origin for metastatic tumors is one of the open problems in cancer care because the efficacy of treatment often depends on the cancer tissue of origin. Classification methods that can leverage tumor genomic…
The primary analysis of randomized screening trials for cancer typically adheres to the intention-to-screen principle, measuring cancer-specific mortality reductions between screening and control arms. These mortality reductions result from…
Purpose: A core component of advancing cancer treatment research is assessing response to therapy. Doing so by hand, for example as per RECIST or RANO criteria, is tedious, time-consuming, and can miss important tumor response information;…
Lung cancer is a leading cause of death in most countries of the world. Since prompt diagnosis of tumors can allow oncologists to discern their nature, type and the mode of treatment, tumor detection and segmentation from CT Scan images is…
Brain tumors are masses or abnormal growths of cells within the brain or the central spinal canal with symptoms such as headaches, seizures, weakness or numbness in the arms or legs, changes in personality or behaviour, nausea, vomiting,…
In oncology, recurrence after treatment is one of the major challenges, related to patients' survival and quality of life. Conventionally, prediction of cancer relapse has always relied on clinical observation with statistical model…
Integrating cross-department multi-modal data (e.g., radiological, pathological, genomic, and clinical data) is ubiquitous in brain cancer diagnosis and survival prediction. To date, such an integration is typically conducted by human…
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) have emerged as powerful tools for learning discriminative image features. In this paper, we propose a framework of 3-D fully CNN models for Glioblastoma segmentation from multi-modality MRI data. By…
As Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNNs) have shown robust performance and results in medical image analysis, a number of deep-learning-based tumor detection methods were developed in recent years. Nowadays, the automatic detection of…
Cancer is the uncontrollable cell division of abnormal cells inside the human body, which can spread to other body organs. It is one of the non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and NCDs accounts for 71% of total deaths worldwide whereas lung…
