TL;DR: The long-term follow-up results of this prospective trial confirm that adults with pilocytic astrocytomas have a favorable prognosis with regard to survival and neurologic function.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Ultrasound prostate segmentation based on 3D V-Net with deep supervision
Yang Lei,Tonghe Wang,Bo Wang,Xiuxiu He,Sibo Tian,Ashesh B. Jani,Hui Mao,Walter J. Curran,Pretesh Patel,Tian Liu,Xiaofeng Yang +10 more
TL;DR: A novel deep learning-based method demonstrated that this method could significantly improve contour accuracy especially around the apex and base region and could be a useful tool in ultrasound-guided interventions for prostate-cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
Novel risk stratification score for predicting early distant brain failure and salvage whole-brain radiotherapy after stereotactic radiosurgery for brain metastases
Robert H. Press,Roshan S. Prabhu,Dana Nickleach,Yuan Liu,Hui-Kuo Shu,Shravan Kandula,Kirtesh R. Patel,Walter J. Curran,Ian R. Crocker +8 more
TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to evaluate predictors of early distant brain failure (DBF) and salvage whole‐brain radiotherapy (WBRT) after treatment with stereotactic radiosurgery for brain metastases and create a clinically relevant risk score to stratify patients’ risk for these events.
Journal ArticleDOI
The significance of histology in non-small cell lung cancer.
TL;DR: Recognition and understanding of the biological and clinical differences that exist among the various NSCLC histologies, especially those between the squamous and non-squamous (adenocarcinoma and large cell) tumors, may aid in the development of novel therapeutic strategies.
