Association between Ki67 expression and therapeutic outcome in colon cancer.

Ki67 is a commonly used proliferation marker in pathological diagnosis of tumors; however, its prognostic value in colon cancer is controversial. A total of 312 consecutive patients with stage I-III colon cancer who underwent radical surgery with or without adjuvant chemotherapy were included in the present study. Ki67 expression was assessed using immunohistochemistry and was classified according to 25% intervals.

Multiparametric MRI-Based Radiomics Nomogram for Predicting Lymphovascular Space Invasion in Endometrial Carcinoma.

Background: Lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) of endometrial carcinoma (EMC) is one of the important prognostic factors, which is not usually visible subjectively. Therefore, clinicians lack imaging-based evidence about LVSI for preoperative treatment decision-making.

Purpose: To develop a multiparametric MRI (mpMRI)-based radiomics nomogram for predicting LVSI in EMC and provide decision-making support to clinicians.

CT texture analysis of lung adenocarcinoma: can Radiomic features be surrogate biomarkers for EGFR mutation statuses.

Objective: To investigate whether radiomic features can be surrogate biomarkers for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation statuses.

Materials And Methods: Two hundred ninety six consecutive patients, who underwent CT examinations before operation within 3 months and had EGFR mutations tested, were enrolled in this retrospective study. CT texture features were extracted using an open-source software with whole volume segmentation.

Deep infiltrating endometriosis MR imaging with surgical correlation.

In this pictorial review, MR imaging findings of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) are illustrated together with surgical correlation. DIE can appear as irregular nodules or plaques with similar signal intensity to muscle on both T1-weighted and T2-weighted images. Hemorrhage foci and strands or stellate margins are also often noted.

Emergency CT of blunt abdominal trauma: experience from a large urban hospital in Southern China.

Trauma is one of the leading causes of death for men and women under the age of 45 years old, and abdominal injuries contribute to a large number of these deaths. Prompt diagnosis is very important for treatment decision making and can be life-saving. CT has become an essential imaging modality in emergency medicine.
