Neuroblastoma: nutritional strategies as supportive care in pediatric oncology [PDF]
Neuroblastoma, is a highly heterogeneous pediatric tumour and is responsible for 15% of pediatric cancer-related deaths. The clinical outcomes can vary from spontaneous regression to high metastatic disease. This extracranial tumour arises from a neural crest-derived cell and can harbor different phenotypes. Its heterogeneity may result from variations

Guarding against Spurious Discoveries in High Dimensions [PDF]
Many data mining and statistical machine learning algorithms have been developed to select a subset of covariates to associate with a response variable. Spurious discoveries can easily arise in high-dimensional data analysis due to enormous possibilities of such selections. How can we know statistically our discoveries better than those by chance?

Group induced graphical lasso allows for discovery of molecular pathways-pathways interactions [PDF]
Complex systems may contain heterogeneous types of variables that interact in a multi-level and multi-scale manner. In this context, high-level layers may considered as groups of variables interacting in lower-level layers. This is particularly true in biology, where, for example, genes are grouped in pathways and two types of interactions are present:

MMLNB: Multi-Modal Learning for Neuroblastoma Subtyping Classification Assisted with Textual Description Generation [PDF]
Neuroblastoma (NB), a leading cause of childhood cancer mortality, exhibits significant histopathological variability, necessitating precise subtyping for accurate prognosis and treatment. Traditional diagnostic methods rely on subjective evaluations that are time-consuming and inconsistent.

Automated segmenta-on of pediatric neuroblastoma on multi-modal MRI: Results of the SPPIN challenge at MICCAI 2023 [PDF]
Surgery plays an important role within the treatment for neuroblastoma, a common pediatric cancer. This requires careful planning, often via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based anatomical 3D models. However, creating these models is often time-consuming and user dependent.

Towards Accurate and Interpretable Neuroblastoma Diagnosis via Contrastive Multi-scale Pathological Image Analysis [PDF]
Neuroblastoma, adrenal-derived, is among the most common pediatric solid malignancies, characterized by significant clinical heterogeneity. Timely and accurate pathological diagnosis from hematoxylin and eosin-stained whole-slide images is critical for patient prognosis.

Interpretable Embeddings for Segmentation-Free Single-Cell Analysis in Multiplex Imaging [PDF]
Multiplex Imaging (MI) enables the simultaneous visualization of multiple biological markers in separate imaging channels at subcellular resolution, providing valuable insights into cell-type heterogeneity and spatial organization. However, current computational pipelines rely on cell segmentation algorithms, which require laborious fine-tuning and can

Interim Analysis in Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trials for Survival Outcomes [PDF]
Sequential multiple assignment randomized trials mimic the actual treatment processes experienced by physicians and patients in clinical settings and inform the comparative effectiveness of dynamic treatment regimes. In such trials, patients go through multiple stages of treatment, and the treatment assignment is adapted over time based on individual ...
