Metachronous Malignant Solitary Fibrous Tumor of Kidney: Case Report and Review of Literature
Urology Case Reports, 2016 Solitary fibrous tumors are well described in the pleura, but rare extra-pleural neoplasms have been reported. We describe a patient with a solitary left renal fibrous tumor who after undergoing a nephrectomy, presented 8 years later with a contralateral

Deep Learning-based Segmentation of Pleural Effusion From Ultrasound Using Coordinate Convolutions [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In many low-to-middle income (LMIC) countries, ultrasound is used for assessment of pleural effusion. Typically, the extent of the effusion is manually measured by a sonographer, leading to significant intra-/inter-observer variability. In this work, we investigate the use of deep learning (DL) to automate the process of pleural effusion segmentation ...

Circulating tumor cells: advancing personalized therapy in small cell lung cancer patients
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive form of lung cancer that spreads rapidly to secondary sites such as the brain and liver. Cancer cells circulating in the blood, “circulating tumor cells” (CTCs), have demonstrated prognostic value in SCLC, and evaluating biomarkers on CTCs could guide treatment decisions such as for PARP inhibitors ...
