Skin Cancer

Local administration of chemotherapeutic drugs to a tumor site in the oral cavity can provide high drug concentrations in the tumor area and reduce systemic side effects. In this work, catechol (Cat)-modified chitosan/hyaluronic...

Melanoma is the most aggressive type of skin cancer, and it may arise from a cutaneous pigmented lesion. As artificial intelligence (AI)-based teledermatology services hold promise in redefining the melanoma screening paradigm,...

Multivariate count data are common in many disciplines. The variables in such data often exhibit complex positive or negative dependency structures. We propose three Bayesian approaches to modeling bivariate count data by...

Accurate identification of patients with solid tumors likely to respond to immunotherapy is crucial. Tumor mutational burden (TMB) measures the number of somatic mutations in a tumor and is an emerging prognostic and predictive...

The anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (anti-MDA5) antibody was significantly associated with dermatomyositis associated with interstitial lung disease (DM-ILD) and poor survival in patients. However, there was no...

To evaluate the impact on dose distribution to eye organs-at-risk (eOARs) of a computed tomography (CT)-based treatment planning in eye plaque brachytherapy (EPB) treatment.We analyzed 19 ocular melanoma patients treated with...

Nearly 50% of patients with metastatic melanoma harbor a BRAFV600-mutation, which can be targeted with the use of BRAF and MEK inhibitors, either in the front-line or treatment-refractory setting. Encorafenib is the newest...

To explore the value of diffusion-weighted imaging for early response detection of locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with concurrent chemoradiotherapy.Fifty-five (42 males, 13 females) patients with locally...

Metastatic uveal melanoma is a highly aggressive disease with no standard of care treatment option. A large proportion of patients have liver-only metastatic disease which raises the question if liver-directed therapy can be...
