Machine Learning in the Management of Lateral Skull Base Tumors: A Systematic Review. JOURNAL OF OTORHINOLARYNGOLOGY, HEARING AND BALANCE MEDICINE 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/ohbm3040007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The application of machine learning (ML) techniques to otolaryngology remains a topic of interest and prevalence in the literature, though no previous articles have summarized the current state of ML application to management and the diagnosis of lateral skull base (LSB) tumors. Subsequently, we present a systematic overview of previous applications of ML techniques to the management of LSB tumors. Independent searches were conducted on PubMed and Web of Science between August 2020 and February 2021 to identify the literature pertaining to the use of ML techniques in LSB tumor surgery written in the English language. All articles were assessed in regard to their application task, ML methodology, and their outcomes. A total of 32 articles were examined. The number of articles involving applications of ML techniques to LSB tumor surgeries has significantly increased since the first article relevant to this field was published in 1994. The most commonly employed ML category was tree-based algorithms. Most articles were included in the category of surgical management (13; 40.6%), followed by those in disease classification (8; 25%). Overall, the application of ML techniques to the management of LSB tumor has evolved rapidly over the past two decades, and the anticipated growth in the future could significantly augment the surgical outcomes and management of LSB tumors.

Advancements in Oncology with Artificial Intelligence—A Review Article. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14051349. [PMID: 35267657 PMCID: PMC8909088 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14051349] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2022] [Revised: 02/26/2022] [Accepted: 02/28/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary With the advancement of artificial intelligence, including machine learning, the field of oncology has seen promising results in cancer detection and classification, epigenetics, drug discovery, and prognostication. In this review, we describe what artificial intelligence is and its function, as well as comprehensively summarize its evolution and role in breast, colorectal, and central nervous system cancers. Understanding the origin and current accomplishments might be essential to improve the quality, accuracy, generalizability, cost-effectiveness, and reliability of artificial intelligence models that can be used in worldwide clinical practice. Students and researchers in the medical field will benefit from a deeper understanding of how to use integrative AI in oncology for innovation and research. Abstract Well-trained machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) systems can provide clinicians with therapeutic assistance, potentially increasing efficiency and improving efficacy. ML has demonstrated high accuracy in oncology-related diagnostic imaging, including screening mammography interpretation, colon polyp detection, glioma classification, and grading. By utilizing ML techniques, the manual steps of detecting and segmenting lesions are greatly reduced. ML-based tumor imaging analysis is independent of the experience level of evaluating physicians, and the results are expected to be more standardized and accurate. One of the biggest challenges is its generalizability worldwide. The current detection and screening methods for colon polyps and breast cancer have a vast amount of data, so they are ideal areas for studying the global standardization of artificial intelligence. Central nervous system cancers are rare and have poor prognoses based on current management standards. ML offers the prospect of unraveling undiscovered features from routinely acquired neuroimaging for improving treatment planning, prognostication, monitoring, and response assessment of CNS tumors such as gliomas. By studying AI in such rare cancer types, standard management methods may be improved by augmenting personalized/precision medicine. This review aims to provide clinicians and medical researchers with a basic understanding of how ML works and its role in oncology, especially in breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and primary and metastatic brain cancer. Understanding AI basics, current achievements, and future challenges are crucial in advancing the use of AI in oncology.

Makond B, Wang KJ, Wang KM. Benchmarking prognosis methods for survivability - A case study for patients with contingent primary cancers. Comput Biol Med 2021; 138:104888. [PMID: 34610552 DOI: 10.1016/j.compbiomed.2021.104888] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2021] [Accepted: 09/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is an increasing number of patients with a first primary cancer who are diagnosed with a second primary cancer, but prognosis methods to predict the survivability of a patient with multiple primary cancers have not been fully benchmarked. METHODS This study investigated the five-year survivability prognosis performances of six machine learning approaches. These approaches are: artificial neural network, decision tree (DT), logistic regression, support vector machine, naïve Bayes (NB), and Bayesian network (BN). A synthetic minority over-sampling technique (SMOTE) was used to solve the imbalanced problem, and a nationwide cancer patient database containing 7,845 subjects in Taiwan was used as a sample source. Ten primary and secondary cancers and their key variables affecting the survivability of the patients were identified. RESULTS All the models using SMOTE improved sensitivity and specificity significantly. NB has the highest performance in terms of accuracy and specificity, whereas BN has the highest performance in terms of sensitivity. Further, the computational time and the power of knowledge representation of NB, BN, and DT outperformed the others. CONCLUSIONS Selecting the appropriate prognosis models to predict survivability of patients with two contingent primary cancers can aid precise prediction and can support appropriate treatment advice.

From multisource data to clinical decision aids in radiation oncology: The need for a clinical data science community. Radiother Oncol 2020; 153:43-54. [PMID: 33065188 DOI: 10.1016/j.radonc.2020.09.054] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2020] [Revised: 09/25/2020] [Accepted: 09/26/2020] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Big data are no longer an obstacle; now, by using artificial intelligence (AI), previously undiscovered knowledge can be found in massive data collections. The radiation oncology clinic daily produces a large amount of multisource data and metadata during its routine clinical and research activities. These data involve multiple stakeholders and users. Because of a lack of interoperability, most of these data remain unused, and powerful insights that could improve patient care are lost. Changing the paradigm by introducing powerful AI analytics and a common vision for empowering big data in radiation oncology is imperative. However, this can only be achieved by creating a clinical data science community in radiation oncology. In this work, we present why such a community is needed to translate multisource data into clinical decision aids.
