Early Contrast Enhancement: a novel Magnetic Resonance Imaging biomarker of pleural malignancy [PDF]
, 2018 Introduction: Pleural Malignancy (PM) is often occult on subjective radiological assessment. We sought to define a novel, semi-objective Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) biomarker of PM, targeted to increased tumour microvessel density (MVD) and ...

Survival prediction in mesothelioma using a scalable lasso regression model: instructions for use and initial performance using clinical predictors [PDF]
, 2018 Introduction: Accurate prognostication is difficult in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). We developed a set of robust computational models to quantify the prognostic value of routinely available clinical data, which form the basis of published MPM ...
