Improving Small Lesion Segmentation in CT Scans using Intensity Distribution Supervision: Application to Small Bowel Carcinoid Tumor [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Finding small lesions is very challenging due to lack of noticeable features, severe class imbalance, as well as the size itself. One approach to improve small lesion segmentation is to reduce the region of interest and inspect it at a higher sensitivity rather than performing it for the entire region.

The novel mTOR inhibitor RAD001 (Everolimus) induces antiproliferative effects in human pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor cells [PDF]
, 2007 Background/Aim: Tumors exhibiting constitutively activated PI(3) K/Akt/mTOR signaling are hypersensitive to mTOR inhibitors such as RAD001 (everolimus) which is presently being investigated in clinical phase II trials in various tumor entities, including

Early Detection and Localization of Pancreatic Cancer by Label-Free Tumor Synthesis [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Early detection and localization of pancreatic cancer can increase the 5-year survival rate for patients from 8.5% to 20%. Artificial intelligence (AI) can potentially assist radiologists in detecting pancreatic tumors at an early stage. Training AI models require a vast number of annotated examples, but the availability of CT scans obtaining early ...
