Intraoperative ultrasound (ioUS) provides real-time imaging during neurosurgical procedures, with advantages such as portability and cost-effectiveness. Accurate tumor segmentation has the potential to substantially enhance the interpretability of ioUS images; however, its implementation is limited by persistent challenges, including noise, artifacts, and anatomical variability. This study aims to develop a convolutional neural network (CNN) model for glioma segmentation in ioUS images via a multicenter dataset.

To date, there have not been any population-based cancer studies quantifying geographical patterns of the loss in life expectancy (LLE) and crude probability of death due to cancer ( ). These absolute measures of survival are complementary to the more typically used relative measures of excess mortality and relative survival, and, together, they provide a fuller understanding of geographical disparities in survival outcomes for cancer patients. We propose using a spatially flexible parametric relative survival model in the Bayesian framework, which allows for the inclusion of spatial effects in hazard-level model components.

This commentary examines Topological Data Analysis (TDA) in radiology imaging, highlighting its revolutionary potential in medical image interpretation. TDA, which is grounded in mathematical topology, provides novel insights into complex, high-dimensional radiological data through persistent homology and topological features. We explore TDA's applications across medical imaging domains, including tumor characterization, cardiovascular imaging, and COVID-19 detection, where it demonstrates 15-20% improvements over traditional methods.

Background/aim: Flavonoids are a group of polyphenols, abundantly present in our diet. Although, based on their chemoprotective effects, intake of flavonoids is associated with a high anticancer potential as evidenced in in vitro and in vivo models, the molecular mechanism is still elusive. This study explores the antiproliferative and cytotoxic effects of the semi-synthetic flavonoid MonoHER (7-mono-O-(β-hydroxyethyl)-rutoside) in vitro on cancer cells.

The acidic tumor microenvironment, a hallmark of many solid tumors, is primarily induced by the high glycolytic rate of tumor cells. To avoid acidosis, tumor cells ingeniously maintain an acidic extracellular pH while keeping a relatively alkaline intracellular pH. Overturning the unique pH gradient of tumor cells has exhibited to be a viable approach for cancer therapy.
