Article Synopsis
  • Deep learning methods show strong potential for predicting lung cancer risk from CT scans, but there's a need for more comprehensive comparisons and validations of these models in real-world settings.
  • The study reviews 21 state-of-the-art deep learning models, analyzing their performance using CT scans from a subset of the National Lung Screening Trial, with a focus on malignant versus benign classification.
  • Results reveal that 3D deep learning models generally outperformed 2D models, with the best 3D model achieving an AUROC of 0.86 compared to 0.79 for the best 2D model, emphasizing the need to choose appropriate pretrained datasets and model types for effective lung cancer risk prediction.

Center for Research and Innovation in Precision Medicine of Respiratory Diseases, "Victor Babes" University of Medicine and Pharmacy Timisoara, Eftimie Murgu Square 2, Timisoara 300041, Romania.

Pulmonary resections are critical interventions for treating various lung pathologies, both benign and malignant. Understanding the impact of these surgeries on patients' Quality of Life (QoL) is essential for optimizing care. This study aims to compare the Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) and psychological well-being in patients who underwent pulmonary resections for benign versus malignant etiologies.

Ameloblastoma is a rare tumor arising from odontogenic cells that is benign, yet locally aggressive. Metastasizing ameloblastoma (METAM) is an ultra-rare ameloblastoma variant in which both primary and secondary tumors have histological features of benign ameloblastoma. This is a case report of a patient who presented with a jaw mass and subsequent lung metastases, later diagnosed as METAM.

Background: The study evaluated the safety and adequacy of percutaneous transsternal anterior mediastinal core biopsy.

Methods: All percutaneous computed tomography-guided transsternal mediastinal 18-gauge core biopsies performed at 2 academic centers were retrospectively reviewed. Procedural, clinical, and pathology data were recorded.
