Prognostic factors for patients with esophageal cancer who achieve pathological complete response in the primary tumor after upfront chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Male gender and pathological lymph node metastasis are independent poor prognostic factors in patients with esophageal cancer who receive upfront treatment followed by surgery and achieved pathological complete response of the primary tumor. Among patients without pathological lymph node metastasis, the upfront chemotherapy group showed significantly ...

Personalized Biopsy Schedules Using an Interval-censored Cause-specific Joint Model [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Active surveillance (AS), where biopsies are conducted to detect cancer progression, has been acknowledged as an efficient way to reduce the overtreatment of prostate cancer. Most AS cohorts use fixed biopsy schedules for all patients. However, the ideal test frequency remains unknown, and the routine use of such invasive tests burdens the patients. An

Aspiration-induced reconnection in spatial public goods game [PDF]

EPL, 94 (2011) 18006, 2012
In this Letter, we introduce an aspiration-induced reconnection mechanism into the spatial public goods game. A player will reconnect to a randomly chosen player if its payoff acquired from the group centered on the neighbor does not exceed the aspiration level. We find that an intermediate aspiration level can best promote cooperation.

Prostate biopsy tracking with deformation estimation [PDF]

, 2011
Transrectal biopsies under 2D ultrasound (US) control are the current clinical standard for prostate cancer diagnosis. The isoechogenic nature of prostate carcinoma makes it necessary to sample the gland systematically, resulting in a low sensitivity. Also, it is difficult for the clinician to follow the sampling protocol accurately under 2D US control
