NasoNet, modeling the spread of nasopharyngeal cancer with networks of probabilistic events in discrete time
The spread of cancer is a non-deterministic dynamic process. As a consequence, the design of an assistant system for the diagnosis and prognosis of the extent of a cancer should be based on a representation method that deals with both uncertainty and time. The ultimate goal is to know the stage of development of a cancer in a patient before selecting the appropriate treatment. A network of prob...
متن کاملNasopharyngeal carcinoma: CT evaluation of patterns of tumor spread.

Unilateral involvement was found in 44.3% of patients (116/262) and bilateral involvement in 40.1% (105/262). The other structures or regions that wer...

متن کاملEndoscopy of Nasopharyngeal Cancer
Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is a unique disease with increasing interest for many physicians due to its unusual etiology, histology, and epidemiology. The recent era of fiberoptic endoscopy now provides the clinician with better tools for the screening, diagnosis, staging, and follow-up of NPC. The use of high resolution flexible and rigid nasopharyngoscopy gives the physician an opportunity fo...
متن کاملHyperthermic Intrathoracic Chemotherapy for Metastatic Ovarian Cancer
Introduction: Ovarian serous carcinoma is an aggressive malignancy, often with metastases at presentation. Cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy has been studied as a treatment option for intraperitoneal spread of ovarian cancer. Hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy, the thoracic counterpart to hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, is emerging as ...
