Peritoneal malignancies represent a heterogeneous group of conditions that arise from the spread of malignant epithelial cells in the peritoneal cavity. Historically associated with poor outcomes and limited therapeutic options, advances in locoregional treatments have significantly altered patient prognosis. Imaging plays a central role in diagnosis,...Read more

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers high sensitivity in detecting breast cancer, especially among women at elevated risk. However, the method’s effectiveness is hindered by high false-positive rates, which increase workload and anxiety while reducing efficiency. Artificial intelligence has been proposed as a solution, but existing models often...Read more

In patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), accurate identification of metastatic retropharyngeal lymph nodes (RLNs) is vital for effective treatment planning and prognostic assessment. These lymph nodes are often the first site of metastatic spread and play a key role in staging and defining radiation targets. However, due to their deep...Read more
