Background: Develop the best machine learning (ML) model to predict nonsentinel lymph node metastases (NSLNM) in breast cancer patients.

Methods: From June 2016 to August 2022, 1005 breast cancer patients were included in this retrospective study. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using logistic regression. Six ML models were introduced, and their performance was compared.

Results: NSLNM occurred in 338 (33.6%) of 1005 patients. The best ML model was XGBoost, whose average area under the curve (AUC) based on 10-fold cross-verification was 0.722. It performed better than the nomogram, which was based on logistic regression (AUC: 0.764 vs. 0.706).

Conclusions: The ML model XGBoost can well predict NSLNM in breast cancer patients.

Purpose: The aggressive nature of a tumor is presumably its inherent one, but different environmental cues can manipulate it in many ways. In this context, the influence of metabolic stresses on tumor behavior needs to be analyzed to understand their far-reaching implications on tumor aggression and dormancy. This work investigates different facets of the tumor, such as tumorigenic capacity, tumor phenotype, and migration, under multiple metabolic stress conditions.

Background: According to statistics, the incidence of proximal gastric cancer has gradually increased in recent years, posing a serious threat to human health. Tubular gastroesophageal anastomosis and double-channel anastomosis are two relatively mature anti-reflux procedures. A comparison of these two surgical procedures, tubular gastroesophageal anastomosis and double-channel anastomosis, has rarely been reported.

Recurrent hormone receptor-positive (HR+) breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer mortality in women. Recurrence and resistance to targeted therapies have been difficult to study due to the long clinical course of the disease, the complex nature of resistance, and the lack of clinically relevant model systems. Existing models are limited to a few HR+ cell lines, organoid models, and patient-derived xenograft models, all lacking components of the human tumor microenvironment.
