Early prediction of patient responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is essential for the precision treatment of early breast cancer (EBC). Therefore, this study aims to noninvasively and early predict pathological complete response (pCR). We used dynamic ultrasound (US) imaging changes acquired during NACT, along with clinicopathological features, to create a nomogram and construct a machine learning model.

Purpose: To determine how often non-mass lesions are seen in screening breast ultrasounds, and analyze their ultrasound features according to the ultrasound lexicon to find features suggestive of malignant non-mass lesions.
Methods: This study is a single center retrospective study for nonmass lesions on screening breast ultrasound. Among 21,604 patients who underwent screening breast US, there were 279 patients with nonmass lesions.

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis-Assessment of Different NEoplasias in the adneXa (IOTA-ADNEX) model to distinguish among benign, borderline, and malignant epithelial ovarian tumours (BeEOTs, BEOTs, and MEOTs, respectively).
Methods: The study included 813 patients with BeEOTs, BEOTs, and MEOTs who underwent ultrasound examinations and pelvic operations. Comparisons were made between the clinical information and ultrasonographic features of the three patient groups, and the histopathological diagnosis was the gold standard.

Introduction: Given suboptimal performance of ultrasound-based surveillance for early hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) detection in patients with cirrhosis, there is interest in alternative surveillance strategies, including blood-based biomarkers. We aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of biomarker-based surveillance in patients with cirrhosis.
Methods: We constructed a decision-analytic model to compare ultrasound/alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and biomarker-based surveillance strategies in 1,000,000 simulated patients with compensated cirrhosis.

Successful cryopreservation of the whole ovary outside of the body, while a woman undergoes cancer treatments, may help preserving fertility and regaining hormone balance during recovery. One of the key challenges in whole ovary cryopreservation is adequately loading the organ with cryoprotective agents (CPAs). Another notable challenge in developing the application is the lack of geometric data needed for designing matching thermal protocols.
